← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome results when a tree's root loses aquaporin channel function?
A)Reduced mineral uptake efficiency occurs✓
B)Increased xylem vessel diameter results
C)Enhanced root pressure facilitates flow
D)Elevated leaf turgor pressure prevails
💡 Explanation
Reduced ion flow occurs because aquaporin dysfunction limits specialized water channels, therefore decreasing mineral uptake, rather than enhancing pressure; different protein channels cause varying uptake profiles across diverse plant species.
