The graph presents the findings from a potometer used to investigate how wind speed affects the rate of water loss in a plant. Which statement accounts for the results of the investigation?
- AAs wind speed increases, it becomes harder for the plant to obtain carbon dioxide. At high wind speeds the stomata are fully open so rate of water loss is high.
- BAs wind speed increases, moist air around the stomata is removed and replaced by dry air. At high wind speeds the transpiration rate is lower.
- CAs wind speed increases, the rate of water loss increases due to an increased diffusion gradient. At high wind speeds, the stomata close.
- DAs wind speed increases, transpiration rate and rate of photosynthesis increases. At high wind speeds more water is used for photosynthesis.
