← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when a terrestrial plant's transpiration processes stagnate?
A)Decreased water potential enables guttation
B)Insufficient xylem pressure causes wilting✓
C)Enhanced phloem loading drives growth
D)Increased photorespiration boosts carbon uptake
💡 Explanation
Wilting stems from limited water movement because the cohesion-tension mechanism depends on transpiration to pull water upwards via xylem; therefore, wilting occurs due to hydrostatic pressure decreasing, rather than alternative osmotic adjustments occurring within the plant.
