Question

Guttation occurs only in

• A. Hydrophytes
• B. Mesophytes
• C. Mangroves
• D. Marshy plants

Answer 1

The correct option is B Mesophytes

Guttation is the process in which plant pores secrete droplets of water.

Guttation occurs in moist conditions.

This commonly occurs in mesophytes at night when transpiration

Is not taking place due to closed stomata.

The extra water content is hence removed by this process and it can be seen on the surface of leaves as water oozes out of the hydathodes

So the correct answer is 'Mesophytes'.
