Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of transpiration have maximum loss of water (80-90% total water loss)
A
Cuticular transpiration
B
Stomatal transpiration
C
Leaf transpiration
D
Guard cell transpiration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Stomatal transpiration: It is the evaporation of water through stomata. Stomata are specialized pores in the leaves. They account for around 80 to 90% of the total water loss from the plants. Cuticular transpiration: Cuticle is an impermeable covering present on the leaves and stem.

Detailed explanation-2: -In other terms, it is the process by which water from plant leaves and other parts evaporates into the atmosphere. Stomatal transpiration is the process of water evaporation through stomata. In the leaves, stomata are specialised pores. They are responsible for about 80% to 90% of the total water loss from the plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -About 97-99% of the water is lost through transpiration. Transpiration is defined as the physiological loss of water in the form of water vapor, mainly from the stomata in leaves, but also through evaporation from the surfaces of leaves, flowers, and stems.

Detailed explanation-4: -Therefore, stomatal transpiration contributes to maximum transpiration in the plant.
