Which of the following statements best describes why biologists are currently concerned with global warming and the thawing of permafrost in many areas of the tundra biome?

#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
  1. The thawing process will likely decrease the abundance and diversity of soil-dwelling organisms in tundra habitats.
  2. The bacterial decomposition of  the thawed organic materials on  the widespread areas of  the tundra will produce large quantities of CO2, which will add to greenhouse gases and exacerbate global warming.
  3. Oil and coal deposits will thaw and rise to the surface (because of their lower density) of the tundra, destroying millions of acres of arctic habitat.
  4. Populations of humans inhabiting the arctic will have to move to more southern latitudes, resulting in in- creased competition for resources in already densely populated areas.

Stomata from intact, attached leaves of Arabidopsis illuminated with blue, red, and green light in a growth chamber, increases and decreases their aperture in response to light.

 

Find the CORRECT statements from the above graph.

i) Stomatal aperture increases when the green light is turned off, and close when the green light is turned on again

ii) Stomata from the phototropin-less double mutant phot1/phot2 respond to blue light and open further when green light is turned off

iii) stomata from the zeaxanthin less mutant npq1 do not respond to blue light and least effect to opening of the stomata further when green light is turned off

iv) the npq1 mutant and phot1/phot2 double mutant response indicate that the green reversal of the blue-light response requires zeaxanthin but also phototropin

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant

Blue light stimulated opening of stomata, closing of stomata is also takes place by many other such mutants and mechanisms such as,

a.) npq1 mutants leads to closing of stomata

b.) In high PPFD leads to conversion of violaxanthin to zeaxanthin which will  leads to closing of stomata

c.) Green light in the 500 to 600 nm region of the spectrum, abolishes the opening of stomata

d.) Mutant of phototropin 1 & 2 (PHOT1/PHOT2)  leads to closing of stomata

e.) Starch content in the guard cell decreases during closing of stomata at the end of the day

Which of the following given statements will be correct for closing of stomata?
