Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: Age of plant does not affect the rate of transpiration.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -The light intensity, temperature, humidity, wind and water supply will all affect the transpiration rate.
Detailed explanation-4: -Final answer: Excretion of minerals is not a function of transpiration.
