← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when cut floral stems are placed under a draft?
A)Increased transpiration causes earlier wilting✓
B)Decreased osmotic pressure prevents water uptake
C)Lowered cellular respiration slows senescence
D)Enhanced guttation preserves turgor pressure
💡 Explanation
Increased airflow from the draft enhances transpiration in plants; this occurs because evaporation from the stomata increases water potential gradients, therefore rapid water loss leads quickly to wilting rather than maintained turgor.
