A newly discovered kind of coconut plant has leaves with increased uptake of CO₂ compared to leaves of other types of coconuts.What modification might best account for the difference?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stomata that are more open would allow for increased uptake of CO₂, as it is a gas that enters plants through the stomata during photosynthesis. A thicker waxy cuticle or lower rate of water vapor loss would not necessarily affect CO₂ uptake. Lack of response to darkness or electric imbalance in guard cells would not be directly related to CO₂ uptake.
