Question

short note on transpiration in plants

Answer 1

Answer:

Transpiration is the loss of water from a plant in the form of water vapor. Water is absorbed by roots from the soil and transported as a liquid to the leaves via xylem. In the leaves, small pores allow water to escape as a vapor. Of all the water absorbed by plants, less than 5% remains in the plant for growth.

Transpiration is the loss of water from a plant in the form of water vapor. Water is absorbed by roots from the soil and transported as a liquid to the leaves via xylem. In the leaves, small pores allow water to escape as a vapor. Of all the water absorbed by plants, less than 5% remains in the plant for growth.

It has two main functions: cooling the plant and pumping water and minerals to the leaves for photosynthesis. Plants need to cool themselves for several reasons. The stomata (pores) must open to take in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis (especially important on mornings of sunny days).
