Which altered outcome arises in a plant during prolonged root submersion?

💡 Explanation

Submerged roots experience oxygen deprivation, therefore anaerobic respiration dominates, producing less ATP and toxic byproducts; this inhibits active nutrient uptake, as energy production decreases because root cellular respiration is affected, rather than improved transpiration.
