Some of the water absorbed by the plants is not lost in transpiration. state one other way in which water is used
Answers
Explanation:
It has two main functions: cooling the plant and pumping water and minerals to the leaves for photosynthesis.
• Transpiration results in transpiration pull which thereby increases the rate of absorption of water along with minerals from the soil through roots.
• Transpiration helps in transportation of absorbed minerals to all the parts of the plant.
• Transpiration provides water for the process of photosynthesis.
• Transpiration helps in cooling the structures of the plant when exposed to hot sunlight.
• Transpiration helps the cells to maintain their turgidity.
• Excess water is removed from the cells of the plant to prevent plant decay.
• Osmotic balance of the cell is maintained by the process of transpiration.
• Transpiration helps in the distribution of dissolved substances to all parts of the plant.
• Transpiration is also helpful in maintaining balance in the environment by protecting trees and thereby forests.
