Question

If the absorption is more and transpiration is less then process affected will be

• A. Root pressure
• B. Guttation
• C. Bleeding
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

Transpiration is defined as loss of water as gas or vapour from leaves through the stomatal pore. If there is less transpiration due to high atmospheric humidity and the soil is well watered; there will be an increase in root pressure. The increased root pressure leads to oozing out of the solution of minerals from hydathodes (called as guttation) and other openings (called as bleeding). Thus, the correct answer is option D.
