RESPIRATION IN PLANTS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
water evaporates from the leaf
A
condensation
B
transpiration
C
evaporation
D
precipitation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Transpiration occurs when plants take up liquid water from the soil and release water vapor into the air from their leaves.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers. Water is necessary for plants but only a small amount of water taken up by the roots is used for growth and metabolism.

Detailed explanation-4: -Option (b) The spongy mesophyll cells of the leaf make most of the water evaporate during transpiration. Explanation: Transpiration is the process by which water evaporates at the surfaces of the spongy mesophyll cells in leaves.
