Hi friend,
Transpiration is both harmful and beneficial for plants.
ADVANTAGES:-
-» It creates suction force and helps in the ascent of sap.
-» It affects the diffusion pressure deficit, thereby indirectly helping diffusion through the cells.
-» It affects the absorption of water and minerals by roots.
-» It helps in evaporating excess amount of water.
DISADVANTAGES:-
-» Transpiration often results in water deficit (capillary water) which causes injury to the plants by desiccation.
-» Excessive rate of transpiration leads to stunted growth of plants.
-»Since approximately 90 percent of absorbed water is lost through transpiration, the energy used in absorption and conduction of water goes waste.
-» Structural modifications to reduce transpiration. These modifications are extra burden on the plants.
