← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome often occurs throughout drought conditions due to ABA?
A)Reduced photosynthetic rate internally✓
B)Increased chloroplast production internally
C)Elevated rates of nutrient transport
D)Enhanced internal water storage
💡 Explanation
The abscisic acid (ABA) causes stomatal closure in response to water stress, because this helps limit transpiration by reducing water vapor released from leaves; therefore photosynthetic rate often reduces due to the CO2 limitation internally, rather than enhanced rates of nutrient and water acquisition.
