Question

Would you expect a higher rate of
transpiration to occur in an arid environment
such as the UAE or a tropical rainforest area
such as the Amazon Rainforest? Explain your
answer.

Answer 1

tropical rainforest more transpirtation will occur but in UAE due to arid climate the plant will bear greater amount of epidermis which will prevent loss of water through transpiration

Answer 2

A higher rate in tropical rainforest area such as the Amazon rainforest

Explanation:

• Transpiration is the process wherein plants release the water within  it in the form of water vapor/moisture.
• Plants that live in hot & arid environments have specific adaptations which facilitate on controlling water loss, such as the capacity to conserve/store  water.
• Alternatively, in environments where water is not a restrictive resource, such as the tropical rainforest, plants transpire more
