← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome hinders nutrient intake when transpiration is excessively slowed?
A)Decreased mineral ion uptake✓
B)Increased photosynthetic efficiency
C)Enhanced root respiration rate
D)Accelerated sugar translocation
💡 Explanation
Reduced transpiration in plants limits water movement, meaning mineral ions cannot passively flow to the roots adequately enough via mass flow, because the driving hydrostatic pressure gradient decreases. Therefore, nutrient uptake suffers rather than showing compensatory sugar activity.
