Answer to Problem 102A
Severe damage can occur to plants in dry and windy conditions.
Explanation of Solution
Given Information: Evaporation of the water on a plant surface occurs under dry and windy conditions.
There are certain factors affecting Evaporation, that are, Humidity, Wind speed, Temperature, and Surface area. Here, talking about dry and windy conditions. In dry and windy conditions ice crystals form in plant cells and water becomes unavailable to the plant tissue. The juice vesicles inside the fruit rupture as ice crystals form within them. These can cause the fruit to lose water and dry out.
