Which mechanism causes increased water absorption in plants experiencing low humidity environments?

A)Cohesion-tension transpiration of xylem
B)Reverse osmosis in root cells
C)Increased cuticular wax production
D)Decreased stomatal density in leaves

💡 Explanation

Increased rates of transpiration from leaves due to dry air increases the tension by cohesion-tension transpiration in xylem, pulling water upward from roots; therefore, because gradient differences accelerate water uptake, rather than other resistance-based options.
