Question

Water lost in guttation is

• A. Pure water
• B. Impure water
• C. In vapour form
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Impure water

Guttation is the loss of water in solution form through hydathodes. It occurs under the influence of root pressure. When transpiration is low and plant absorbs water from well-watered soil under the influence of root pressure. The excess water oozes out as a dilute solution of minerals and other solutes from dead endings of veins. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
