A

Temperature

Water availability

140
Q

How does increases in temp affect stomata

A

Release of ABA decreases
Stomata open
Allows plant to cool through water evaporation

141
Q

How does decrease in water availability affect stomatal

A

Increased release of ABA
Stomata close
Reduces water loss through transpiration

Q

How do gibberellins cause stem elongation

A

Promote cell elongation - by loosening cell walls

Promote cell division - producing proteins that control the cell cycle
