alleryWhat does closing stomata trade off during drought?
ALess water loss but less CO2 entry
BMore root hairs and less xylem
CMore CO2 entry and more water loss
DMore photosynthesis with no water loss
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Less water loss but less CO2 entry
Stomatal closure limits water loss but also reduces atmospheric CO2 absorption.
