Question

Explain why changing the air movement around a plant affects the rate of transpiration.

Answer 1

Answer:

Wind – Wind can alter rates of transpiration by removing the boundary layer, that still layer of water vapor hugging the surface of leaves. Wind increases the movement of water from the leaf surface when it reduces the boundary layer, because the path for water to reach the atmosphere is shorter.

Answer 2

Answer:

factor = Wind speed

condition =increased

Explanation = Moving air removes water vapour, increasing the rate of diffusion of water vapour from the leaf
