The stems would wilt. Sap would flow more quickly. More flowers would be produced. The leaves would be shed.
I gave my students this multiple choice question: In plant cells, the amount of water in the cells creates pressure against the cell walls. If the amount of water in the cells of non-woody plants was reduced, which of the following would most likely happen?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- The stems would wilt.
- Sap would flow more quickly.
- More flowers would be produced.
- The leaves would be shed.

Could you tell me which one is correct?

The stems would wilt.
