← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results from disrupting plant xylem embolism repair?
A)Increased susceptibility to water stress✓
B)Enhanced nutrient absorption rate
C)Elevated photosynthetic output
D)Improved stem structural rigidity
💡 Explanation
Susceptibility to water stress occurs because embolism blocks xylem’s cavitation repair affecting the cohesion-tension mechanism, therefore transport is impaired, rather than enhanced nutrient levels because of the disrupted water flow.
