What Would You Predict Would Happen to This Plant If

Question

What would you predict would happen to this plant if the stomata failed to close?
A)Transpiration does not go on all the time, so transpiration would eventually stop.
B)The plant would cool down quickly, which would slow down photosynthesis.
C)The roots would grow bigger to absorb more water and the plant would keep growing.
D)Without unlimited adequate water to replace the water lost by transpiration, the plant would wilt and eventually die
E)The leaves would eventually evolve to have fewer stomata and the plant would keep growing.

Accepted Answer

If stomata failed to close, transpiration would continue to occur and the plant would lose more water than it can replace. This would lead to dehydration and wilting, eventually causing the plant to die.
