does transpiration serve any useful function in plants? explain.
Answers
Answer:
yes ;
Explanation:
Transpiration is the evaporative loss of water by plants. It occurs mainly through the stomata in the leaves. Besides the loss of water vapour in transpiration, exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the leaf also occurs through pores called stomata.
Transpiration serves any useful function in plants in the following way:
(i) It helps to enhance the absorption of water and dissolved minerals by the creation of a suction pull.
(ii) It helps in getting rid of the excess water.
(iii) It helps in the transport of water and minerals to leaves and leaves use the water for photosynthesis.
(iv) It produces a cooling effect on the plant.
Answer:
Transpiration is the evaporation of water from the plants. The water evaporates through the stomata present on the surface of the leaves. Transpiration is mainly responsible for the loss of water that was absorbed by the plants. However, it is important for plants as it helps in the movement of water to the top of tall trees. As a result, it helps in the distribution of water throughout the plant body. It also helps in cooling the plant.
