Answer» Correct Answer - E Less than 1% of the total water absorbed is utilized in photosynthesis. The rest is lost in transpiration. Even a slight increase in transpiration reduces the leaf hydration that cuts down photosynthesis by causing stomatal closure and hence decreased `CO_(2)` absorption, loss of leaf turgidity, reduced absorption of solar radiations and decrease enzymatic activity. |
