If a C3 plant that normally closes its stomata during hot,dry conditions were triggered to open them instead,the most likely outcome would be that A)O₂ enters the leaf,increasing the rate of photosynthesis. B)more chlorophyll is made,increasing the rate of photosynthesis. C)CO₂ enters the leaf,decreasing the rate of photosynthesis. D)glucose leaves the leaf,increasing the rate of photosynthesis. E)water leaves the leaf,decreasing the rate of photosynthesis.
