Question 53

When a herbaceous garden plant is left unwatered, its stems and leaves wilt and droop. However, the plant does not completely collapse, and it rapidly recovers its upright posture once watered.

Describe the two structures within a plant cell that prevent cellular collapse during dehydration and restore the rigid strength necessary to support the plant when water is abundant.
