Detailed explanation-1: -How is transpiration important to the plants? The process of transpiration keeps the cell turgid, cools the surface of the leaves, and helps in the movement of minerals from the soil to different parts of the plant.
Detailed explanation-2: -Through evaporative cooling, plant transpiration brings down the temperature of leaves, the largest plant organ. 4. Water balance in plants is also maintained by transpiration. Plants absorb a lot of water and transpiration is a means by which excess water is removed.
Detailed explanation-3: -transports mineral ions. cools the leaf as water evaporates. provides water that keeps the cells turgid, which supports herbaceous plants.
Detailed explanation-4: -Much of the water that soaks into the soil from irrigation or rain ultimately returns the the atmosphere as water vapor through direct evaporation from the surface or by transpiration through plant leaves as the plants use the water for growth and seed production.
Detailed explanation-5: -Transpiration occurs when plants take up liquid water from the soil and release water vapor into the air from their leaves.
