← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when guttation exceeds transpirational water loss?
A)Root pressure drives xylem backflow
B)Reduced mineral absorption occurs in cells
C)Hydathodes excrete visible water droplets✓
D)Cavitation in xylem increases suddenly
💡 Explanation
Hydathodes secrete water because root pressure builds beyond what the plant transpires; therefore, water is forced out as visible droplets, rather than xylem backflow, cavitation nor affecting mineral absorption directly.
