TRANSPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
how are transpiration and evaporation different?
A
transpiration is the loss of water from a plant evaporation is the absorption of water.
B
transpiration is the growth of a plant evaporation is the absorption of water
C
evaporation is let go of water transpiration is the loss of water from a plant
D
transpration is a death of a plant evaporation is the let go of water.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. Only a small amount of water absorbed by the plants is utilised in growth and development.

Detailed explanation-2: -Transpiration makes the surface of leaves and young stems wet and protects them from sunburn. Evaporation provides dryness to the free surface.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transpiration is the evaporation of water from plants occurring at the leaves while their stomata are open for the passage of CO2 and O2 during photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transpiration is the loss of water in the form of vapour through aerial parts of the plant. This creates a suctional force pulling water from the roots through the xylem. Transpiration helps to pull water to the leaves of tall trees that are even 600ft high.

Detailed explanation-5: -The loss of water from aerial parts of the plant in the form of water vapour is termed transpiration and, when transpiration is low and absorption of water by roots is high, loss of water from leaves in the form of liquid is termed guttation.
