Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A greater light intensity increases the rate of transpiration. This is because a greater light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis, which requires more carbon dioxide in leaves. The stomata increase in size/ open to allow more carbon dioxide to enter leaves.
Detailed explanation-2: -Temperature: A rise in temperature increases the water loss by transpiration. Transpiration increases with an increase in temperature to a certain point.
Detailed explanation-3: -The transpiration rate goes up as the temperature goes up, especially during the growing season. As the relative humidity of the air surrounding the plant rises the transpiration rate decreases.
