Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: Age of plant does not affect the rate of transpiration.
Detailed explanation-2: -As the relative humidity of the air surrounding the plant rises the transpiration rate decreases. It is easier for water to evaporate into dryer air than into more saturated air. Increased movement of the air around a plant will result in a higher transpiration rate.
Detailed explanation-3: -When humidity increases, the amount of water/moisture content of the air increases, thus the air becomes more saturated with water. As the air is already saturated with water and there remains less space for extra water molecules, the rate of transpiration falls.
