← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when humidity decreases around a sunflower?
A)Greater xylem sap ascent rate✓
B)Reduced sucrose translocation efficiency
C)Decreased active transport of nutrients
D)Lower guard cell turgor pressure
💡 Explanation
Transpiration relies on water potential differences; decreased humidity increases this gradient, thereby accelerating the cohesion-tension mechanism pulling water up the xylem, because rate of evaporation increases sharply. Therefore, xylem flow increases, rather than sucrose transport which relies on pholem and osmotic gradients.
