The loss of water from a plant by transpiration cools the leaf. movement of water in transpiration requires both adhesion to the conducting walls and wood fibers of the plant and cohesion of the molecules to each other. a scientist wanted to increase the rate of transpiration of a crop species to extend its range into warmer climates. the scientist substituted a nonpolar solution with an atomic mass similar to that of water for hydrating the plants. what do you expect the scientist's data will indicate from this experiment?

a) the rate of transpiration will be the same for both water and the nonpolar substance.
b) transpiration rates will increase as nonpolar compounds undergo adhesion and cohesion with wood fibers more readily than water.
c) transpiration rates will fall to zero as nonpolar compounds do not have the properties necessary for adhesion and cohesion.
d) the rate of transpiration will be slightly lower with the nonpolar substance as the plant will not have evolved with the nonpolar compound.

C) Transpiration rates will fall to zero as nonpolar compounds do not have the properties necessary for adhesion and cohesion.

Explanation:

Transpiration is the movement of water through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts,for example leaves, stems and flowers.

From the question, The loss of water from a plant by transpiration cools the leaf. That is to say, Water as a polar solvent due to the presence of oxygen molecule with greater electronegative effect giving rise to polarity.

Also, Movement of water in transpiration requires both adhesion to the conducting walls and wood fibers of the plant and cohesion of the molecules to each other. All these factors are as result of polarity of water.

BUT, in the case of a non polar solution, let say oil for example; Transpiration rates will fall to zero as nonpolar compounds do not have the properties necessary for adhesion and cohesion due to their little or  no polarity.

answer: angiosperms

dicots

angiosperms are highly evolved plants, they produce seeds which are enclosed within in a carple. these are the largest group of plants on earth. they include trees, shrubs, herbs and small flowering plants. angiosperms exhibit a flowering stage in their life cycle. the flower serves the function of reproduction and fruit formation in majority of angiosperms. dicot is the term used to describe flowering plants that have two seed leaves. dicots are plants which develop seeds which split into two parts called cotyledons. each cotyledon contains one embryo.

here, a small purple flower development indicates that the plant belongs to angiosperms and having two embryonic leaves indicates it belongs to dicots.
