All of the Following are Adaptations That Help Reduce Water

Question

All of the following are adaptations that help reduce water loss from a plant except
A) transpiration.
B) sunken stomata.
C) C₄ photosynthesis.
D) small, thick leaves.
E) crassulacean acid metabolism.

Accepted Answer

Transpiration is the process of water loss in plants through stomata, so it does not help reduce water loss. The other options - sunken stomata, C₄ photosynthesis, small, thick leaves, and crassulacean acid metabolism - are all adaptations that help reduce water loss in plants.
