← Nature & AnimalsWhich risk strongly increases in a plant when abnormally high stomatal density occurs?
A)Uncontrolled water loss through transpiration✓
B)Decreased photosynthetic carbon dioxide assimilation
C)Reduced nutrient uptake from the soil
D)Impaired root development due to oxygen deprivation
💡 Explanation
Increased stomatal density triggers higher transpiration rates because more stomata increase water vapor diffusion. Therefore, excessive water loss ensues rather than increased CO2 intake or impaired root function, which are limited by other conditions.
