<span>Transpiration is the major way by which plants loose water (95%). It occurs through the stomata. Water loss is essential for plants because it releases the pressure, aids continuous intake of water by the plant, and allows the water to move to other parts of the plant that need water. Water loss through transpiration is regulated by Guard cells, which help prevent plants from drying out by regulating the opening & closing of the stomata, thus regulating the flow of the water vapor from the leaf tissue.</span>

Answer:

An increase in the number of H+ ion in the lake with many aquatic would cause cell shrinkage by the removal of water from the cell.

Explanation:

Every organism tries to maintain a constant PH inside their body to regulate the homeostasis of their body.

An increase in the number of H+ ion or proton in a lake will increase the osmotic pressure of the water present in the lake.As the osmotic pressure of Lake"s water is increased it will draw water out from the the cells of aquatic organism causing the cells to shrink thus decreasing the volume of the cell and if the H+ ion concentration rises at a high level cell death can occur.
