Question

Look carefully at the model. During a drought, there is less water available for the plants. There is less runoff and less infiltration. During a drought, less water is returned to the atmosphere by the plants through __________, and there is a decrease in the plants' rate of ___________. A) respiration; photosynthesis B) photosynthesis; condensation C) transpiration; photosynthesis D) photosynthesis; transpiration

Answer 1

The answer is actually C XD

Answer 2

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A process in which plants absorb water with the help of roots and through the pores in leaves, plants give off water vapor. This process is known as transpiration.

Thus, we can conclude that during a drought, less water is returned to the atmosphere by the plants through transpiration, and there is a decrease in the plants' rate of photosynthesis.
