← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when excessive heat inhibits transpiration?
A)Potassium ions fail to accumulate
B)Stomata close restricting CO2 intake✓
C)Increased synthesis of chlorophyll occurs
D)Phloem uploading is increased in leaves
💡 Explanation
Stomata close to conserve water via cuticular transpiration, which is regulated by abscisic acid and reduces water loss because minimizing water potential is preferable than maximizing carbon dioxide uptake; therefore CO2 intake is reduced, rather than the other metabolic changes.
