← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome results when elevated CO2 levels cause a plant to reduce stomata aperture duration?
A)Increased efficiency of water use✓
B)Enhanced rate of photorespiration
C)Maximization of carbon dioxide uptake
D)Decreased internal leaf temperature
💡 Explanation
Water use efficiency is improved through decreased stomata aperture duration, because reduced transpiration occurs maintaining water, and this optimizes photosynthesis while limiting water loss. Therefore, resources are conserved, rather than experiencing photorespiration or maximizing CO2, processes limited by resource conditions.
