Q839

Enzymes connected with opening and closing of stomata is

A.
Pyruvic kinase
B.
PEP carboxylase
Answer
C.
RuBP carboxylase
D.
α-amylase

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Enzymes connected with the opening and closing of stomata are PEP carboxylase.
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase is an enzyme in the family of carboxy-lyases found in plants and some bacteria that catalyzes the addition of bicarbonate (HCO3-) to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to form the four-carbon compound oxaloacetate and inorganic phosphate.
When water evaporation is minimal, it takes in CO2 by fixing with PEP to form oxaloacetate through PEP carboxylase and causes the opening of stomata.
