Which describe how turgidity affects plants? (Please choose those that apply) *. - It stiffens the plant's stem. - It assists the cells in staying firm and strong. - It helps plants stay moist and avoid desiccation. - It facilitates the transportation of water in the plant body. - It assists in regulating the opening and closure of stomata. - It is used to increase root pressure within root cells.

How are plants able to take in water when the stomata are closed at night? What are the implications of nighttime water uptake on plant-level water relations? To answer this question, consider how a plant maintains a water potential gradient between the vascular column and the root cortex and consider the impacts of water intake when stomata are closed. Your Answer: Because carbon dioxide and water exchange through the night through the same holes. Solutes accumulate in the vascular tissue: How do these solutes cause water intake at night? How does nighttime water intake impact embolisms in the xylem?
