Which consequence results when the guard cells surrounding plant stomata fail to synthesize potassium malate during daylight?

A)Decreased transpiration to maintain turgor
B)Increased photosynthetic rate temporarily
C)Stomata failing to close under stress
D)Accelerated photorespiration in the mesophyll

💡 Explanation

Stomata remain closed, reducing CO₂ intake, because osmotic pressure drives stomatal opening initially via potassium malate synthesis; therefore stomata malfunction with potassium synthesis failure, rather than proper environment adaptions in the environment.
