(N/A) $1$. During summer,the rate of transpiration is very high. If a plant is not watered for a day,the water loss through transpiration exceeds the water uptake by roots,leading to a decrease in turgor pressure.
$2$. This causes the leaves and stems to wilt (droop).
$3$. Yes,this process is reversible. If the plant is watered promptly,the cells will regain their turgor pressure,and the plant will recover its normal upright position.
$4$. However,if the water deficit persists for too long,the plant may reach a permanent wilting point,leading to leaf abscission and eventually the death of the plant.
