Question 3 • (OC27) Earth/Space Sci-2001310-S1-Nelson

Which describes a disruption in the water cycle that could affect photosynthesis?

Answer
A
Heat causes an excess of transpiration.
B
Heat causes an excess of evaporation.
C
Heat causes an excess of condensation.
D
Heat causes an excess of precipitation.

Explanation

Excessive heat can increase transpiration, the loss of water vapor from plants. If plants lose too much water, they may close their leaf pores to conserve it, reducing the carbon dioxide they take in for photosynthesis. So “Heat causes an excess of transpiration” describes a disruption that could affect photosynthesis.
