    Glycolate induces opening of stomata in

    A)  presence of oxygen

    B)  low \[C{{O}_{2}}\] concentration

    C)  high \[C{{O}_{2}}\] concentration

    D)  absence of \[C{{O}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Light causes photosynthesis which lead to reduction in \[C{{O}_{2}}\] concentration \[\to \] synthesis of glycolate \[\to \] oxidation of glycolate \[\to \] ATP synthesis \[\to \] activation of \[{{K}^{+}}\] pump \[\to \] movement of \[{{K}^{+}}\] in guard cell \[\to \] movement of water into guard cells \[\to \] swelling of guard cell \[\to \] opening of stomata.
