← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome is observed when excessive abscisic acid causes prolonged stomatal closure?
A)Photorespiration increase due CO₂ deficit✓
B)Enhanced nitrogen absorption from the soil
C)Increased chlorophyll synthesis efficiency
D)Accelerated root growth from carbohydrate surplus
💡 Explanation
When abscisic acid triggers prolonged stomatal closure, carbon dioxide diffusion gets restricted, increasing oxygen concentration relative to carbon dioxide near RuBisCO causing photorespiration. Therefore photorespiration occurs, rather than enhanced nitrate uptake, increased chlorophyll synthesis, or root growth, all requiring open stomata.
