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.

HELP ME ASAP PLEASE.<br><br>How does water move from leaves to root? explain

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

During transpiration, water will evaporate from tiny holes in the surfaces of leaves into the air (the tiny holes are called stomata). As the water molecules evaporate from plant leaves, they attract the water molecules still in the plant, helping to pull water up through the stems from the roots.

Hope this helps! *please mark me as brainliest :)
