How does the amount of water a plant receives affect its ability to photosynthesize

1 answer:

3 0

Although only a small portion of water absorbed by the plant is used in photosynthesis, a shortage of water does affect the rate photosynthesis occurs. Even a slight deficiency of water results in significant reduction in the crop yield. The lack of water not only limits the amount of water, but also the quantity of carbon dioxide available for photosynthesis. This is because in response to drying the leaves close their stomata in order to conserve water being lost as water vapor through them. Care should be take to assure that both optimal oxygen and water are available to the roots at all times.

The correct answer is option A and C i.e. Magma and erosion products

The magma is considered as a new product as it is formed from the lava that flows out of the volcano and is a new material produced periodically while the erosion products may not be produced at a particular place but since they are being carried away from some distant area they are new for the area where they are carried to.
