← Nature & AnimalsWhich effect results when transpiration rate sharply rises?
A)Increased water and nutrient uptake✓
B)Increased atmospheric carbon assimilation
C)Optimized xylem vessel cavitation repair
D)Accelerated cellular oxygen production rate
💡 Explanation
The increased transpiration generates a higher tension in the xylem, consequently accelerating water and nutrient uptake from the soil, because root hydraulic conductance increases due to the elevated gradient; therefore mineral transport will be enhanced, rather than causing reduced sugar production.
