Answer:
Transpiration is the evaporation of water from the surface of leaf cells in actively growing plants. This water is replaced by additional absorption of water from the soil leading to a continuous column of water in the plant's xylem. ... If water loss is greater than water uptake, air bubbles can form in the xylem.

Answer:
1. When absorption of water by the roots fails to keep up with the rate of transpiration, loss of turgor occurs, and the stomata close. This immediately reduces the rate of transpiration (as well as of photosynthesis). If the loss of turgor extends to the rest of the leaf and stem, the plant wilts.
