Neco Model Questions Vol1 2024 Biology Question 24
Practice objective / multiple choice question 24 from the 2024 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Biology examination.
A desert plant reduces its leaf surface area by 30% and its stomatal density by 40% relative to a closely related mesic species. Transpiration rate is proportional to leaf area × stomatal density × vapor pressure deficit (VPD). If VPD is the same for both species and the mesic species loses \(1200\) mL of water per day, what is the expected daily water loss of the desert plant? Additionally, the desert plant opens its stomata only 60% of the time that the mesic species does. What is the final daily water loss after accounting for this behavioural adjustment?
