Assertion:Light is very important factor...

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 the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion

B

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

C

If the assertion is true but the reason is false

D

If both the assertion and reason are false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Both light and temperature is the main factor to check transpiration by regulating its opening and closing. Stomata are triggered to open in the light so that carbon dioxide is available for the light-dependent process of photosynthesis. Stomata are closed in dark in the most plant.

[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.
