Question
if a plants stomata were always closed, how would this affect the plants ability to make glucose?
multiple choice
there would be no effect on the ability of the plant to make glucose
plants would be able to make more sugar than normal
plants would make less sugar than normal
Stomata are openings on plant leaves that allow carbon - dioxide to enter. Carbon - dioxide is a key reactant in photosynthesis, the process by which plants make glucose. If stomata are always closed, less carbon - dioxide can enter the plant, and the rate of photosynthesis will decrease, resulting in less glucose production.
