Question

Water lost through the process of guttation is in

• A. Liquid form containing dissolved minerals
• B. Liquid form without dissolved minerals
• C. Vapour form with minerals
• D. Vapour form without minerals

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Liquid form containing dissolved minerals

Water lost through guttation is in the form of water droplets which also take minerals along with them. Since it is in liquid form, it can dissolve minerals in too.

It is not in the form of vapours as in the case of transpiration. The vapours flow not take minerals with them.

So the correct answer is 'Liquid form containing dissolved minerals'.
