Vedclass · Answer

(A) The process where leaf cells lose turgidity during the day due to high rates of transpiration exceeding water absorption, but regain it at night when transpiration rates drop, is known as $Temporary \ wilting$. $Permanent \ wilting$ occurs when the plant cannot recover its turgidity even when placed in a saturated atmosphere, leading to the death of the plant. $Guttation$ is the exudation of water droplets from the margins of leaves through specialized structures called $Hydathodes$.

List $I$	List $II$
$A$. Cohesion	$I$. More attraction in liquid phase
$B$. Adhesion	$II$. Mutual attraction among water molecules
$C$. Surface tension	$III$. Water loss in liquid phase
$D$. Guttation	$IV$. Attraction towards polar surfaces

During the day, the turgidity of leaf cells decreases, but they regain it during the night. What is this process called?
