Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Transpiration occurs when plants take up liquid water from the soil and release water vapor into the air from their leaves.
Detailed explanation-2: -Spongy mesophyll-loosely packed cells with large air spaces between them. The air spaces allow movement and exchange of gases, specifically oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor.
Detailed explanation-3: -The spongy mesophyll is a complex, porous tissue found in plant leaves that enables carbon capture and provides mechanical stability.
Detailed explanation-4: -Leaves. The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the leaf (as well as the loss of water vapor in transpiration) occurs through pores called stomata (singular = stoma).
