Question

All of the following are plant factors that affect transpiration, except

•Amount of chlorophyll in the cells

•Distribution of stomata

•Canopy structure

•Water status of the plant

{I.G-@mokshadd}​

Answer 1

Answer:

Amount of chlorophyll in the cells

Explanation:

Chlorophyll content of leaves does not directly affect rate of transpiration

Answer 2

Answer:

Except a)The amount of chlorophyll present in the cells of the plant, as it does not affect the transpiration process.

Explanation:

The distribution of stomata affects the rate of transpiration. If the number of stomata is more on the upper surface of the leaf then the rate of transpiration increases compared to a large number of stomata on the lower surface of the leaf.

Canopy structure also does affect transpiration. As the rate of transpiration of the plant increases, if its stomata or the leaves are exposed to direct sunlight, the canopy structures provide shade to the leaves below and prevent them from being exposed to sunlight thereby decreasing the rate of transpiration in those leaves.

The water status of the plant also affects transpiration. If the water quantity is low in the plant due to lesser absorption by the roots then the rate of transpiration also decreases as the leaves start to wilt.

The only option that does not affect the rate of transpiration is the amount of chlorophyll hence it is the answer.
