Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Water loss in plants during transpiration occurs through ____
A
roots of plants
B
flowers
C
stomatal pores
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It is the evaporation of water from the stomata of the plants. Most of the water from the plants is transpired this way. The water near the surface of the leaves changes into vapour and evaporates when the stomata are open.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Stomata are specialized pores or apertures that are found in the epidermis of plant cells and are essential for the exchange of gases during transpiration. Stomata are crucial components of the transpiration process.

Detailed explanation-4: -Evapotranspiration also includes transpiration, which is the water movement from the soil to the atmosphere via plants. Transpiration occurs when plants take up liquid water from the soil and release water vapor into the air from their leaves.

Detailed explanation-5: -Transpiration occurs through stomata. Stomata are usually open during the day and close at night. When the stomata opens, the water near the surface of the leaves turns into vapour and evaporates.
