Which outcome impairs nutrient absorption when stomata close?

💡 Explanation

Closing stomata stops transpiration, which significantly reduces xylem water flow because the cohesion-tension mechanism relies on continuous water column; therefore nutrient uptake decreases, rather than being impacted by other cellular activities within parenchyma, phloem, or roots.
