Which gas exchange outcome predominates when arid-adapted plants close their stomata during daylight hours?

💡 Explanation

When stomata close during daylight in arid environments, carbon dioxide entry decreases, creating a low-CO2/high-O2 environment in the leaf because photosynthesis continues. Therefore, photorespiration increases, rather than increased oxygen, carbon dioxide, or transpiration which require open stomata for efficient exchange.
