If hydrogen bonds between water molecules were weaker than they are today, how would this affect plant height?
a. As hydrogen bonds impede the movement of water through plant vasculature, plants would be able to grow taller.
b. As hydrogen bonds are responsible for the movement of water through plant vasculature, plants would be shorter.
c. As plants actively transport water through their vasculature, weaker hydrogen bonds would have no effect on plant height.
d. As hydrogen bonds cause water to stick to the sides of plant vasculature, plants would be able to grow taller.
e. As hydrogen bonds increase the amount of sugar plants can transport through their vasculature, plants would be able to grow taller.
Ans: b. As hydrogen bonds are responsible for the movement of water through plant vasculature, plants would be shorter.
