← Nature & AnimalsWhich mechanism causes increased water absorption in plants experiencing low humidity environments?
A)Cohesion-tension transpiration of xylem✓
B)Reverse osmosis in root cells
C)Increased cuticular wax production
D)Decreased stomatal density in leaves
💡 Explanation
Increased rates of transpiration from leaves due to dry air increases the tension by cohesion-tension transpiration in xylem, pulling water upward from roots; therefore, because gradient differences accelerate water uptake, rather than other resistance-based options.
