What happens to the transpiration rate as light intensity increases?
|
|
It increases
|
|
|
It stays the same
|
|
|
It decreases
|
|
|
None of the above
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The transpiration rate is increased due to the increase in light intensity.
Detailed explanation-2: -The rate of transpiration decreases with decrease in temperature and decrease in light intensity.
Detailed explanation-3: -Transpiration is affected by air movement. As the movement of air increases, the concentration gradient is increased, so the rate of transpiration increases. Transpiration is affected by light intensity. As the light intensity decreases, the stomata close up and there is a reduction in photosynthesis.
