(A)The central vacuoles contain little water,
(B)The plasmodesmata are closed,
(C)The chloroplasts contain little water,
(D)The walls have lost their shape
Answer:
The central vacuoles contain little water describes the cells of a wilted plant
Step-by-step explanation:
Wilting occurs when the plant tends to lose excess water which it could have absorbed through its root from the ground. In case of wilting, the turgor pressure becomes almost zero. The wilting in plants can be seen when there is very less soil moisture conditions. We can also see wilting in excess of cold condition and in very saline soil as well. Wilting is generally seen in the non-woody parts of the plants. In wilting less water loss is seen as the expose area of the leaves reduces.
