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.
