Which outcome reduces CO2 absorption despite ambient increase when stomata close in plant leaves?

A)Feedback inhibition of Calvin cycle
B)Increased photorespiration rate
C)Reduced nitrate assimilation
D)Declining chlorophyll biosynthesis

💡 Explanation

When stomata close, oxygen concentration rises within the leaf and carbon dioxide levels deplete, which promotes photorespiration because Rubisco binds to O2 instead of CO2. Therefore photorespiration increases, rather than feedback, nitrate assimilation, or chlorophyll decline, which need different intracellular drivers.
