What would happen if the stomata of a leaf remained closed all day? Select all that apply.A) Carbon dioxide in the air spaces of the leaf would decrease.B) Oxygen in the air spaces would increase.C) The amount of water within the air spaces would decrease.D) Photorespiration would increase in C3 plants.E) Photorespiration would increase in CAM plants.
What will be an ideal response?
A, B, D
If the stomata remained closed all day, gases would not be exchanged. Therefore carbon dioxide levels within the leaf would decrease and oxygen levels would increase. As a result, photorespiration would increase in C3 plants. CAM plants would be unaffected because they have adapted to living in hot, dry climates and they normally keep their stomata closed during the day. Since water enters a plant through the roots rather than the stomata, closing the stomata would not result in a decrease in the amount of water within the leaf.
