Question

Why does water loss slow down if a plant is put into a plastic bag?

Answer 1

The plastic bag work because air goes through the plastic but water won't. As the water evaporates,it condensed in the plastic, runs down, and is reabsorbed by the plant .

Answer 2

Water loss slows down if a plant is put into a plastic bag because of the following reasons:-

• When a plant is put into a plastic bag, humidity increases in the bag, as the plant retains its moisture.
• As the humidity increases the rate of evaporation decreases which further leads to a decrease in transpiration.
• The plastic bag will restrict the sunlight from entering it, which will lead to the closure of stomata and decreases transpiration.
• Because of decreased transpiration, the water loss from plants will be less, so the absorption of water from roots will also decrease.
• If continued for a long time, the plant will die because of a deficiency of starch.

Hence, if a plant is put in a plastic bag water loss reduces.
