what is transpiration ?
Answers
Explanation:
Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers. Water is necessary for plants but only a small amount of water taken up by the roots is used for growth and metabolism. The remaining 97–99.5% is lost by transpiration and guttation.
Number of stomata: More stomata will provide more pores for transpiration
Size of the leaf: A leaf with a bigger surface area will transpire faster than a leaf with a smaller surface area
Feature: Effect on transpiration
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.
