Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Plants do not increase the number of water vacuoles in cells to regulate water loss. The other options are all mechanisms that plants use to regulate the rate of water loss. For example, becoming dormant during dry times allows the plant to conserve water, losing leaves reduces the surface area available for water loss, producing thick and hard leaves can reduce water loss through transpiration and containing stomata in crypts or pits can reduce water loss by limiting the surface area exposed to air.
