Question

In stomatal transpiration, the water moves across the cell of leaf
(A) By osmosis along the water potential gradient
(B) By osmosis against the water potential gradient.
(C) By diffusion of water molecules using metabolic energy.
(D) By osmosis using metabolic energy.​

Answer 1

Answer:

a.by osmosis along the water potential gradient

Answer 2

C) by diffusion of water molecules using metabolic energy

Because the water moves into the mesophyll cells from the top of the xylem vessels. Then the water evaporates out of the cells into the spaces between the cells in the leaf. After this, the water leaves the leaf and the whole plant by diffusion through stomata.
