Question

disadvantages of wilting?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Wilting diminishes the plant's ability to transpire and grow. Permanent wilting leads to plant death. Symptoms of wilting and blights resemble one another. In woody plants, reduced water availability leads to cavitation of the xylem.

Answer 2

Answer:

Advantage: with the guard cells not turgid, the stomata close and the rate of water loss is reduced.

Disadvantage: gas exchange in the leaves slows, and therefore so does photosynthesis.
