← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome arises when elevated atmospheric ozone impedes stomata function?
A)Reduced photosynthetic carbon dioxide intake✓
B)Increased transpiration cooling from open stomata
C)Enhanced nitrogen fixation efficiency in roots
D)Accelerated nutrient transport through xylem vessels
💡 Explanation
When high ozone causes stomatal damage and restricted opening, reduced carbon dioxide diffusion into leaves for photosynthesis occurs because ozone degrades the guard cells surrounding the stomata. Therefore reduced CO2 intake occurs, rather than increased transpiration, enhanced nitrogen fixation, or accelerated transport, which depend on functional or open stomata.
