Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When a plant is left in a closed clear container, moisture accumulates. This process is known as:
A
glycolysis
B
transpiration
C
photosynthesis
D
perspiration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The excess water absorbed by the roots of the plant is lost in the form of water vapour that is released through the stomata of the leaves. The water vapour condenses to form water droplets on the inside of the plastic bag. This property of plants is called transpiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -The water eventually is released to the atmosphere as vapor via the plant’s stomata-tiny, closeable, pore-like structures on the surfaces of leaves. Overall, this uptake of water at the roots, transport of water through plant tissues, and release of vapor by leaves is known as transpiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transpiration occurs when plants take up liquid water from the soil and release water vapor into the air from their leaves.

Detailed explanation-4: -Evapotranspiration is the water loss occurring from the processes of evaporation and transpiration. Evaporation occurs when water changes to vapor on either soil or plant surfaces. Transpiration refers to the water lost through the leaves of plants.

Detailed explanation-5: -The process of loss of water by a plant through leaves in a gaseous form is called transpiration. It helps to regulate the temperature by cooling the leaf surface.
