What happens to the rate of transpiration if wind speed increases?
|
|
It decreases
|
|
|
It stays the same
|
|
|
It increases
|
|
|
increases and then decreases
|
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: -[C] A decrease in wind speed increases the rate of transpiration as water molecules are moved away from the leaf faster.
Detailed explanation-3: -Light intensity: The transpiration rate is increased due to the increase in light intensity. During daytime in the sunlight, the rate of transpiration is faster. This is because the stomata remains open to allow the inward diffusion of carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.
