← ScienceWhich risk increases when rapid depressurization causes water boiling within plant tissues?
A)Localized cellular membrane rupturing✓
B)Overall decreased enzymatic activity
C)Uncontrolled exothermic redox events
D)Disrupted phloem transportation efficiency
💡 Explanation
Rapid boiling leads to the *phase transition* from liquid to gas, causing expanding vapor bubbles. These bubbles mechanically stress the cells because the increasing pressure fractures fragile membranes rather than allowing a slower, controlled evaporation route.
