Which outcome occurs when terrestrial plants close their stomata during periods of high temperature and low humidity?

💡 Explanation

When stomata close, CO2 intake decreases because the primary pathway is blocked, limiting the carbon fixation cycle of photosythesis, causing a sharp decline. Therefore photosynthetic rate declines rather than transpiration increasing or internal CO2 rising, which require open stomata and abundant water availability
