Question

In plant cells, the amount of water in the cells creates pressure against the cell walls. If the amount of water in the cells of non-woody plants was reduced, which of the following would most likely happen?
A) More flowers would be produced.
B) Sap would flow more quickly.
C) The stems would wilt.
D) The leaves would be shed.
