Q. Stomatal opening is regulated by

A) Light
B) Temperature
C) Atmospheric humidity
D) Wind
Explanation

The most significant physiological feature of stomata is their response to light. Generally stomata open in the day time, i.e., light and close at night or in darkness. These are called as photoactive stomata. However, in succulent plants like Kalanchoe of family- Crassulaceae, the stomata open at night and close in the day time. Such stomata are called scotoactive stomata.
