Detailed explanation-1: -The significance of transpiration is explained below: Transpiration helps in the conduction of water and minerals to different parts of the plants. Due to the continuous elimination of water from the plant body, there is a balance of water maintained within the plant. It maintains osmosis and keeps the cells rigid.
Detailed explanation-2: -Significance of transpiration:-Transpiration is generally helpful for the conduction of water and nutrients in the plants.-Transpiration helps to maintain the water balance, as there is absorption and elimination.-Transpiration helps the cells to maintain osmosis, so the cells are rigid.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cools the surface of the leaves. Helps in growth and development. It controls the temperature of the plants. Allows the movement of minerals from the soil to different parts of the plant.
Detailed explanation-4: -Transpiration is the evaporation of excess water from the surface of a leaf, through the stomata. Transpiration produces a cooling effect and thus saves the plant from the hot sun.
Detailed explanation-5: -Solution : Transpiration does not help in translocation of sugars from source to sink.
