Question

7 a) How does temperature affect the evaporation of water in a dish?
b) How do you think temperature will affect transpiration in a plant?​

Answer 1

Answer:

a)As temperature increases, rate of evaporation also increases. This is due to increasing kinetic energy of the surface molecules which leads them to free and become vapour. ... This means; increasing the surface area will increase the chance of more molecules to evaporate.

b)Transpiration rates go up as the temperature goes up, especially during the growing season, when the air is warmer due to stronger sunlight and warmer air masses. ... Wind and air movement: Increased movement of the air around a plant will result in a higher transpiration rate.
