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: -Stomatal transpiration. Stomata are the primary portals of water loss during transpiration. It accounts for 90–95 per cent of water loss from leaves. Cuticular transpiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: Ninety percent of the water lost by plants during transpiration is through the stomata of the leaf.

Detailed explanation-4: -Almost 80-90% of the water is lost through stomatal transpiration. Cuticular transpiration − In cuticular transpiration small amount of water is lost through cuticles from epidermal cells of the leaves. Lenticular transpiration − In this type of transpiration, the loss of water happened through stems and fruits.
