Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In which situation would the rate of transpiration be the greatest?
A
in a poorly ventilated glass house during a cool damp evening
B
in a warm, sunny garden when there is a gentle breeze
C
in a well ventilated room during a very warm night
D
on a cool, rainy day when there is a gentle breeze
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is ‘Soil is wet, and the air is dry’.

Detailed explanation-2: -Transpiration rate will be high during the sunny day. Direct sunlight warms up the leaves and causes the stomata to open, thus, more transpiration occurs during the day.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transpiration is affected by temperature and sunlight. When the temperature is high, transpiration is also high. Similarly, when sunlight is more, transpiration is also more. So, transpiration is highest during the summer season as there is more evaporation due to continuously opened stomata.

Detailed explanation-4: -Temperature plays a major role in the rate of transpiration. As the temperature increases, transpiration will increase due to a higher concentration in sunlight and warm air.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plants transpire more in sunny and hot days due raise in temperature because of this plants transpire as water evaporates rapidly. At 30 degree leaves transpire three times more. Was this answer helpful?
