← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome reduces plant water transport following stomata closure?
A)Reduced water potential increases xylem resistance
B)Turgor pressure causes reverse osmosis
C)Higher root pressure causes vessel collapse
D)Decreased evaporative pull disrupts water adhesion✓
💡 Explanation
Stomata closure inhibits transpiration, because reduced water loss from the leaves decreases the tension of the water column within the xylem, inhibiting the cohesion-tension mechanism. Therefore, water transport diminishes, rather than other pressure effects arising in turgor or within root structures alone.
