Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Define “transpiration".
A
The evaporation of water vapour from the leaves through the stomata.
B
The transport of sugars from leaves to other parts of the plant.
C
Where glucose is broken down with oxygen to transfer energy-occurs in the mitochondria.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Transpiration is a process that involves loss of water vapour through the stomata of plants. The loss of water vapour from the plant cools the plant down when the weather is very hot, and water from the stem and roots moves upwards or is ‘pulled’ into the leaves.

Detailed explanation-2: -The process by which plants remove excess water through stomata present on the surface of leaves is called ‘transpiration’. Transpiration is essentially evaporation of water from leaves of the plant.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transpiration is the process in which water is lost as water vapor from the aerial parts of the plants through stomata. Transpiration is essentially evaporation of water from the leaves of the plant.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transpiration occurs when plants take up liquid water from the soil and release water vapor into the air from their leaves.

Detailed explanation-5: -This process of elimination of excess water from the plant body is known as transpiration. 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.
