Guard cells contain starch which is hydrolyzed to form glucose under high pH and reduce CO2 concentration.
Write the name of the theory for the above statement.
Starch hydrolysis Theory
Guard cell photosynthesis theory
Physical force theory
Atmospheric pressure theory
Starch hydrolysis Theory is the theory for stomatal opening and closing which was originally proposed by Sayre in 1923. This theory states that guard cells contain starch, which is hydrolyzed to form glucose under high pH caused due to reduced carbon dioxide concentration. Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
