Detailed explanation-1: -Transpiration results in transpiration pull which thereby increases the rate of absorption of water along with minerals from the soil through roots. Transpiration helps in transportation of absorbed minerals to all the parts of the plant. Transpiration provides water for the process of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Transpiration has several functions in plants: Transporting mineral ions. Providing water to keep cells turgid in order to support the structure of the plant. Providing water to leaf cells for photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Minerals are transported by specific proteins present in the membrane of the root hairs. Transport proteins are embedded in the plasma membranes of endodermal cells and control the type and amount of solutes reaching the xylem.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transpiration also provides the driving force for transport of water and nutrients from roots to shoots. Consequently, transpiration processes affect the yield and survival of agricultural species, and impact on the global carbon and hydrological cycles.

Detailed explanation-5: -Translocation in plants means the movement organic molecules and some mineral ions. Movement of water from the soil to the leaves occurs in xylem vessels in a process called Transpiration.
