When subjected to high temperatures, which consequence follows elevated transpiration in plants?

💡 Explanation

Higher temperatures cause the stomata to open wider, increasing transpiration, and creating more tension within the xylem vessels activating cavitation; therefore, increasing the risk of xylem embolism, rather than aiding in carbon fixation because the tension will damage the xylem.
