Detailed explanation-1: -Transpiration rate can also be affected by various factors like light energy, wind, and temperature. With an increase in light energy, this increases the rate of photosynthesis so more water is drawn into the leaves where photosynthesis . takes place. Therefore the rate of transpiration is greater.
Detailed explanation-2: -Temperature: A rise in temperature increases the water loss by transpiration. Transpiration increases with an increase in temperature to a certain point. Stomata close when the temperature falls to very low or increases to very high ultimately ceasing the process of transpiration.
Detailed explanation-3: -Conditions that increase the rate of transpiration include increase in temperature, decrease in humidity, increase in wind speed, and more.
Detailed explanation-4: -Increasing photosynthesis increases carbon availability for plants.
