Which consequence results when osmotic pressure is insufficient in actively transporting nutrients in a water lily?

A)Xylem cavitation obstructs water transport
B)Loss of turgor induces wilting
C)Guard cell rigidity limits gas exchange
D)Phloem sieve plates plasmolyze completely

💡 Explanation

Insufficient osmotic pressure causes water to leave plant cells via osmosis resulting in a loss of rigidity, therefore the plant wilts, because turgor pressure isn't maintained, rather than maintaining internal hydrostatic pressure against its cell walls.
