NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -[C] As temperature decreases, the rate of transpiration increases because water molecules are actively transported out of the leaf faster.

Detailed explanation-2: -Transpiration increases with temperature as transpiration is dependent on liquid water being converted into vapor. The conversion of water into vapor is dependent on the increase in temperature. Also, the pores or stomata on the leaves will open up when temperature increase to release the water vapor.

Detailed explanation-3: -The transpiration rate is inversely proportional to the humidity in air. High humidity reduces the outward diffusion of water through the stomata. As a result, less water is lost, and lower transpiration rates are observed.

Detailed explanation-4: -When there is no breeze, the air surrounding a leaf becomes increasingly humid thus reducing the rate of transpiration. When a breeze is present, the humid air is carried away and replaced by drier air.

Detailed explanation-5: -It is easier for water to evaporate into dryer air than into more saturated air. Temperature: Transpiration rates go up as the temperature goes up, especially during the growing season, when the air is warmer due to stronger sunlight and warmer air masses.
