Guttation in plants is due to condensation of water vapor and occurs through the hydathodes. D. Disagree, because guttation occurs through the stomates. A. Agree, because guttation occurs through the hydathodes. B. Disagree, because it is root pressure that causes guttation. C. Agree, because during night time, water condenses due to drop in temperature.

When absorption of water by the roots fails to keep up with the rate of transpiration, gain in turgor occurs, and the stomata close. A. Agree, because the transpiration occurs faster than root absorption. D. Disagree, because the condition should be when root absorption is able to keep up with transpiration, then stomates close. B. Disagree, because under this condition, the turgor pressure decreases and the stomates close. C. Agree, because increase in turgor pressure under this condition, closes the stomates.
