Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: If the rate of transpiration becomes more than the rate of photosynthesis, plants will stop growing and gradually die of starvation.
Detailed explanation-2: -A greater light intensity increases the rate of transpiration. This is because a greater light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis, which requires more carbon dioxide in leaves. The stomata increase in size/ open to allow more carbon dioxide to enter leaves.
Detailed explanation-3: -Temperature: A rise in temperature increases the water loss by transpiration. Transpiration increases with an increase in temperature to a certain point.
Detailed explanation-4: -Final answer: Age of plant does not affect the rate of transpiration.
