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: -Light intensity: The transpiration rate is increased due to the increase in light intensity. During daytime in the sunlight, the rate of transpiration is faster. This is because the stomata remains open to allow the inward diffusion of carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-2: -[D] As light intensity decreases, the rate of transpiration increases because stomata are open in the light.
Detailed explanation-3: -The rate of transpiration decreases with decrease in temperature and decrease in light intensity.
