← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when guttation exceeds transpiration in strawberry plants?
A)Increased water nutrient transport efficiency
B)Toxic compound accumulation in leaf tissue✓
C)Decreased stomatal resistance lowering turgor
D)Enhanced photosynthetic pigment breakdown
💡 Explanation
Excessive guttation limits the transpiration stream, thereby causing mineral and toxin accumulation within leaves because uptake continues without sufficient water removal. Therefore, toxic compounds accumulate, rather than efficient transport, as transpiration normally removes these toxins, not leading to pigment changes either.
