multiple choice question
which is true of plants that do not get enough water?
many plants lose their leaves.
many plants grow more leaves.
the amount of water has no affect on leaf growth in plants.
When plants lack sufficient water, they need to reduce water loss through transpiration (which occurs mainly through leaves). Dropping leaves is a common adaptive response to conserve water. Growing more leaves would increase water loss, which is not beneficial during water scarcity, and water clearly impacts leaf growth.
