How does wind affect the rate of transpiration?
|
|
More wind increases the rate of transpiration.
|
|
|
More wind decreases the rate of transpiration.
|
|
|
More wind has no effect on the rate of transpiration.
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -As the wind blows faster, the water released by transpiration is carried away faster. So, rate of transpiration increases with velocity of wind speed.
Detailed explanation-2: -Wind & air movement: Increased movement of the air around a plant will result in a higher transpiration rate. Wind will move the air around, with the result that the more saturated air close to the leaf is replaced by drier air.
Detailed explanation-3: -With the presence of wind, air movement decreases the humidity which blows the water molecules away from the plant which increases the transpiration rate.
