Which consequence results when aquaporin channel inhibition affects stomata?

A)Increased leaf surface temperatures
B)Accelerated nutrient translocation rates
C)Enhanced photosynthetic carbon fixation
D)Reduced susceptibility to fungal pathogens

💡 Explanation

Inhibition of aquaporins decreases water flow to guard cells, limiting turgor pressure and thus closing stomata. Stomata closure reduces transpiration, raising leaf temp because evaporative cooling from transpiration is suppressed, therefore leaf temperature elevates, rather than showing nutrient increases.
