If an increase in dicynodont species diversity (i.e., number of species) occurred soon after the Permian extinction, and if it occurred for the same general reason usually given for the increase in mammalian diversity following the Cretaceous extinction, then it should be attributed to

#Unit 11. Evolution and Behavior
  1. an innovation among the dicynodonts that allowed them to fill brand new niches.

  2. the availability of previously occupied niches.

  3. the extinction of the dinosaurs (except the birds).

  4. the evolution of humans.

What is the role of blue light in terms of stomatal study?

a.) Blue light activates a proton-pumping ATPase in the guard cell plasma membrane and leading to stomatal opening

b.) blue-light stimulation lowers the pH of the apoplastic space surrounding the guard cells, and generates the driving force needed for ion uptake and stomatal opening

c.) The sensitivity of guard cells to blue light increases as a function of their zeaxanthin concentration

d.) npq1 mutant opens at higher fluence rates of blue light, whereas the phot1/phot2 mutant fails to show any blue light–stimulated opening

In greenhouse grown leaves of broad bean stomatal movements closely correlate with incident solar radiation at the leaf surface and stomatal aperture  opening and closing as light levels reaching the leaf surface given in graph

 


A. Mid of the day stomatal aperture has a largest diameter, water loss and transpiration rate will be highest at the  same time

B. In mid of the day incident light is highest in terms of PPFD and can also say CO2 diffusion will be highest

C. The stomatal aperture has a largest diameter resulting closing of stomatal pore, water loss and transpiration rate will be lowest due to closing of stomata

D. In mid of the day incident light is highest in terms of PPFD resulting CO2 will not diffuse

which of the following combination from the given graph will be CORRECT?
