Which factors decrease the rate of transpiration?
|
|
High temperatures
|
|
|
High humidity
|
|
|
No wind
|
|
|
High wind speed
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The rate of transpiration decreases with the closure of stomata, high humidity, high atmospheric carbon dioxide level, the low water content of leaf, shedding of leaf.
Detailed explanation-2: -Or (D) a decrease in wind speed increases the rate of transpiration as water molecules are absorbed by the leaf faster.
Detailed explanation-3: -The rate of transpiration depends on various factors like humidity, temperature, sunlight, atmospheric pressure and wind speed. As the wind blows faster, the water released by transpiration is carried away faster. So, rate of transpiration increases with velocity of wind speed.
