Water vapour comes out from the plant leaf through the stomatal opening. Through the same stomatal opening carbon dioxide diffuses into the plant during photosynthesis. Reason out the above statements using one of following options:
Both processes cannot happen simultaneously.
Both processes can happen together because the diffusion coefficient of water and CO2 is different.
The above processes happen only during night time.
One process occurs during day time, and the other at night.
Rate of diffusion -
Rate ∝ Temperature
Rate ∝ steepness of diffusion pressure difference
Rate ∝
Rate ∝
-
Diffusion of water vapour and can occur simultaneously due to different diffusion coefficient.
Option 1)
Both processes cannot happen simultaneously.
Incorrect option
Option 2)
Both processes can happen together because the diffusion coefficient of water and CO2 is different.
Correct option
Option 3)
The above processes happen only during night time.
Incorrect option
Option 4)
One process occurs during day time, and the other at night.
Incorrect option
