Photosynthesis ceases when leaves wilt, mainly because A. the chlorophyll in wilting leaves is degraded B. flaccid mesophyll cells are incapable of photosynthesis C. stomata close, preventing carbon dioxide from entering the leaf D. accumulation of carbon dioxide in the leaf inhibits enzymes

Respuesta :

The correct option is C: stomata close, preventing carbon dioxide from entering the leaf

Photosynthesis ceases when leaves wilt, mainly because stomata close, preventing carbon dioxide from entering the leaf.

Plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water during photosynthesis to prepare plant food i.e. glucose and energy.

In this process, solar energy is changed into chemical energy by the process of cellular respiration.

It fuels the activities taking place in the plants such as respiration, photosynthesis, electron, and energy transport.

However, due to insufficient moisture photosynthesis stops because stomata close and there is no exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen.
