Which of the following conditions will favour a most reduced rate of transpiration?
|
|
reduced environmental temperature and high light intensity
|
|
|
increased environmental temperature and reduced wind speed
|
|
|
increased relative humidity and reduced wind speed
|
|
|
reduced relative humidity and increased wind speed
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -When there is no breeze, the air surrounding a leaf becomes increasingly humid thus reducing the rate of transpiration. When a breeze is present, the humid air is carried away and replaced by drier air.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer: Solution: (a) Plants transpire more quickly on hot summer days as compared to cold winters.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hot temperature, dry and windy environment causes fastest transpiration rate.
Detailed explanation-4: -As the relative humidity of the air surrounding the plant rises the transpiration rate decreases. It is easier for water to evaporate into dryer air than into more saturated air.
