Air masses formed over the Pacific Ocean are moved by prevailing westerlies where they encounter extensive north- south mountain ranges, such as the Sierra Nevada and the Cascades. Which statement best describes the changes that these air masses undergo?

#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
  1. The cool, moist Pacific air heats up as it rises, releasing its precipitation as it passes the tops of the mountains, and this warm, now dry air cools as it descends on the leeward side of the range.
  2. The warm, moist Pacific air rises and cools, releasing precipitation as it moves up the windward side of the range, and this cool, now dry air mass heats up as it descends on the leeward side of the range.
  3. The  cool,  dry  Pacific air  heats and  picks  up  moisture from  evaporation of  the  snowcapped peaks of  the mountain range, releasing this moisture as precipitation as the air cools as it descends on the leeward side of the range.
  4. These air masses are blocked by these mountain ranges producing high annual amounts of precipitation on the windward sides of these mountain ranges.

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?
