Most of the water taken up by a plant is _____. most of the water taken up by a plant is _____. used as a solvent lost during transpiration used as a hydrogen source in photosynthesis used to keep cells turgid

Respuesta :

There are choices for this question namely:

A. used to keep cells turgid
B. lost during transpiration
C. used as a solvent
D. used as a hydrogen source in photosynthesis
E. converted to carbon dioxide

The correct answer is "lost during transpiration". Transpiration is similar to evaporation of water but different such that in transpiration, water moves from the parts of the plant that are sun-exposed such as the leaves and flowers and allows the water to be evaporated. Only small amounts of water is needed by plants for photosynthesis.
