Glycolate induces opening of stomata in

Options

A. Presence of oxygen
B. Low `CO_(2)` concentration
C. High `CO_(2)` concentration
D. Absence of `CO_(2)`

Answer

B

Explanation

Light causes photosynthesis which leads to a reduction in `CO_(2)` concentration, as a result, there is a synthesis of glycolate which helps in ATP synthesis. As a result `K ^(+)` move into the guard cells get turgid and causes opening of stomata.
