What happens when water uptake by the roots is less than the water lost to the atmosphere by evaporation?

Plants close small pores called stomata to decrease water loss, which slows down nutrient uptake and decreases CO2 absorption from the atmosphere. Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Transpiration

Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems, and flowers.
It is a passive process that requires no energy expense by the plant.
Transpiration cools plants, changes osmotic pressure of cells, and enables mass flow of mineral nutrients.

Regulation of Water Loss

When water uptake by the roots is less than the water lost to the atmosphere by evaporation, plants close small pores called stomata to decrease water loss.
This slows down nutrient uptake and decreases CO2 absorption from the atmosphere, limiting metabolic processes, photosynthesis, and growth.

Water and Nutrient Uptake

Only a small amount of water taken up by the roots is used for growth and metabolism (3-0.5%).
The remaining 97-99.5% is lost by transpiration and guttation.
Water with dissolved mineral nutrients is absorbed into the roots by osmosis.
Water travels through the xylem by way of water molecule adhesion and cohesion.
