Question

plants absorb water through their roots that is released as water vapor in the process of transpiration. how will water cycle be impacted if a plant is infected?
a. transpiration and evaporation will increase
b. transpiration will reduce but evaporation remains the same
c. both stay the same

Explanation:

Transpiration is the process by which plants release water vapor. If a plant is infected, its physiological functions are impaired, reducing transpiration. Evaporation is a physical process not directly related to the plant's health in this context and remains unchanged.

Answer:

B. Transpiration will reduce but evaporation remains the same
