Biology Question on Kingdom Plant

Glycolate induces opening of stomata in

A

Presence of oxygen

B

Low CO2 conc.

C

High CO

D

CO2 absent

Answer

Low CO2 conc.

Explanation

Solution

Glycolate is involved in the process of photorespiration, which occurs when there is a low concentration of CO2 inside the leaf. In such conditions, glycolate accumulates, which can lead to stomatal opening as part of a mechanism to improve CO2 uptake and minimize the effects of photorespiration. So, the correct option is (B): Low CO2 conc.
