Assertion:Light is very important factor in transpiration.
Reason:It induces stomatal opening and darkness closing.Therefore, transpiration increases in light decreases in dark .

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If both assertion and reson are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Light has got no direct effect on the rate of transpiration but indirectly int affects the ratin in two ways firstly by controlling the stomatal opening and sccondly by affecting the tempetature. With the incrase in the light intensity the rate of transpiration increases because the stomata get opened and the temperature incrases. The rate of transpiration markedly in light and decrases in dark. There is a close relationship between the opening of stomata and presure of light.

[A]: Light is very important external factor of transpiration. [R]: Light induces stomata! opening and darkness stomata! closure. Thus the rate of transpiration increases in light and de- creases in dark.

Assertion Rate of transpiration is measured by Ganong 's photopmeter Reason Rate of transpiration decreases in light andn incrases in dark

Assertion : Light plays an important role in process of transpiration. Reason : Light leads to opening of stomata and in dark stomata get closed.

Assertion: Dark reaction is purely enzymatic reaction. Reason: It occurs only in absence of light.

Assertion : Stomate generally open in light and close in dark. Reason : Transpiration is enhanced by heating effect of light.

Assertion: Dark period play more important part in flowering than light period. Reason : Flowering occurs in short-day plant if the dark period is interrupted by light break.
