← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when xylem conduits are severed?
A)Transpirational pull ceases above break✓
B)Root pressure increases in leaves
C)Cohesion-tension mechanism strengthens
D)Turgor pressure reverses causing wilting
💡 Explanation
The transpirational pull ceases above the break because the cohesion-tension mechanism depends on an unbroken water column from root to leaves; therefore, water transport stops above the break rather than strengthening or impacting root pressure.
