Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Rate of transpiration is low in
A
.water plants
B
Forest plant
C
Desert plant
D
All of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -To save water in desert plants, transpiration takes place at night and rate of transpiration is low when compared to water and forest plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -The leaves of certain xerophytic plants roll up on bright sunny days. The rolled-up leaves hide the stomata inside the curled surface blocking the direct contact of stomata with the outer dry air and bright sun. Overall reduces the rate of transpiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -In order to survive in these extremely dry climates, desert plants have evolved adaptations to reduce transpiration while maintaining photosynthesis. Transpiration occurs when water vapor leaves the plant through openings on leaves called stomata, or singular stoma.

Detailed explanation-4: -CAM plants are suited to dry environments. These plants have a very low transpiration rate. >
