Question

Difference between transpiration and evaporation in tabular form

Answer 1

evaporation
^^^^^^^^^^^^
The natural process of transforming water from its liquid state to the gaseous state is mainly referred to as evaporation. This natural phenomenon generally takes place only when water is available- it can be from any water bodies including oceans, rivers, lakes, ponds, or even from the soil. The entire process requires large amount of energy.

transpiration
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 is a biological process in which the water molecules are lost in the form of water vapours from the aerial parts of the plants. This natural phenomenon is carried in all green plants and specifically take place in a tiny opening called as stomata. Along with the exchange of gases, stomata also helps in transpiration by actively opening and closing of their tiny pores for the movement of water molecules from their interior parts of the plants to the atmosphere in the form of vapours.

Answer 2

Transpiration:

1. It is comparatively slow.

2. Occurs only in living.

Evaporation:

1. It is faster process.

2. Occurs in both living and non-living bodies.
