Question 38 WAEC_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2022 • BIOLOGY • objective

A desert plant originally has a stomatal density of 300 stomata mm⁻² and a cuticle thickness of 5 µm. Its transpiration rate is 12 mg H₂O·h⁻¹·cm⁻² and is directly proportional to stomatal density and inversely proportional to cuticle thickness. After adaptation, the stomatal density falls to 150 stomata mm⁻² and the cuticle thickness increases to 15 µm. What is the new transpiration rate (in mg H₂O·h⁻¹·cm⁻²)?

Answer Options

A. 6 mg·h⁻¹·cm⁻²
Correct Answer B. 2 mg·h⁻¹·cm⁻²
C. 1 mg·h⁻¹·cm⁻²
D. 4 mg·h⁻¹·cm⁻²
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
2 mg·h⁻¹·cm⁻²
