Desiccation makes life on land difficult for plants because:
a. CO2 can bind to H2O and O2, causing photorespiration
b. nutrients dissolved in the water are difficult to assimilate
c. water vapor levels within leaves are higher than atmospheric water vapor levels
d. atmospheric CO2 levels are higher than CO2 levels within leaves
Answer: 'C" - water vapor levels within leaves are higher than atmospheric water vapor levels
Explanation: Desiccation (drying out) is a constant danger for a plant exposed to air (due to the above). Even when the parts of a plant are close to a source of warer, their aerial structures are likely to dry out.
