Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: Age of plant does not affect the rate of transpiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Absorption of water and minerals by plants directly depends on the transpiration pull generated by loss of water through stomata but transportation of sugars from source to sink is a physiological process and is not related to transpiration loss of water.

Detailed explanation-3: -The most important factor governing rate of transpiration is the vapour pressure gradient between internal environment of leaf mesophyll tissue and the environment. Thus, the most important factor affecting transpiration is the atmospheric humidity.

Detailed explanation-4: -temperature. humidity. air movement. light intensity.
