← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when a root's endodermis casparian strip fails during drought?
A)Uncontrolled water and ion leakage✓
B)Active transport nutrient concentration increases
C)Reduced xylem structural wall pressure
D)Phloem turgor pressure subsequently increases
💡 Explanation
Uncontrolled leakage emerges because the casparian strip normally directs water and ion flow via cell membranes’ selective transport, thereby maintaining the root's selective uptake; therefore leakage increases, rather than active pressure increases.
