TRANSPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Define transpiration.
A
Loss of water from plants
B
Loss of water through stoma on the leaves
C
Process of water loss in the form of water vapour from the surface of the leaves through evaporation
D
Process of water loss in the form of liquid from the surface of the leaves through evaporation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Transpiration is a process that involves loss of water vapour through the stomata of plants. The loss of water vapour from the plant cools the plant down when the weather is very hot, and water from the stem and roots moves upwards or is ‘pulled’ into the leaves.

Detailed explanation-2: -It occurs mainly through the stomata in the leaves.

Detailed explanation-3: -The process by which plants remove excess water through stomata present on the surface of leaves is called ‘transpiration’. Transpiration is essentially evaporation of water from leaves of the plant.

Detailed explanation-4: -This process of elimination of excess water from the plant body is known as transpiration. It is generally the evaporation of water from the surface of the leaves. During the process of transpiration, water molecules in the plant tissues are removed from the aerial parts of the plants.
