Two desert plants, A and B, differ in leaf morphology. Plant A has a leaf area of \(150\) cm\(^2\) and a stomatal density of \(200\) stomata mm\(^{-2}\). Each stomata loses \(0.05\) µL of water per hour. Plant B has a leaf area of \(120\) cm\(^2\) and a stomatal density of \(150\) stomata mm\(^{-2}\). Each stomata loses \(0.07\) µL of water per hour. Both plants are photosynthetically active for \(10\) hours per day. Calculate the total water loss per day for each plant (in litres) and state which plant loses less water.

Answer Options

A. Plant A loses less water: 1.26 L per day (Plant B loses 1.5 L)
Correct Answer B. Plant B loses less water: 1.26 L per day (Plant A loses 1.5 L)
C. Plant B loses less water: 1.35 L per day (Plant A loses 1.6 L)
D. Plant B loses less water: 1.20 L per day (Plant A loses 1.4 L)
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
Plant B loses less water: 1.26 L per day (Plant A loses 1.5 L)
