Which outcome occurs when guard cell turgor pressure decreases significantly in plant stomata?

A)Stomatal closure to minimize water loss
B)Increased CO2 uptake for photosynthesis
C)Enhanced nutrient transport to mesophyll
D)Accelerated transpiration cooling from leaves

💡 Explanation

When guard cell turgor pressure decreases, stomatal closure occurs because reduced hydrostatic pressure collapses the cell walls, closing the pore and reducing transpiration. Therefore stomatal closure is triggered to minimize water loss, rather than increased CO2 uptake, nutrient transport, or accelerated transpiration—processes that depend on open stomata.
