Understanding Transpiration in Plants

What is transpiration?

• The process of photosynthesis in plants

• The process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts

• The process of nutrient absorption from the soil

• The process of seed germination

Which part of the plant is primarily responsible for transpiration?

• Roots

• Stomata

• Flowers

• Seeds

What is the role of stomata in transpiration?

• They absorb sunlight for photosynthesis

• They allow water vapor to exit the plant

• They transport nutrients from the soil

• They store water for the plant

How does temperature affect transpiration?

• Higher temperatures decrease transpiration

• Higher temperatures have no effect on transpiration

• Higher temperatures increase transpiration

• Higher temperatures stop transpiration

• The process of photosynthesis

• The loss of water from plant cells

Which of the following factors does NOT affect transpiration?

• Wind speed

• Soil type

• Humidity

• Light intensity

What happens to transpiration when humidity is high?

• Transpiration increases

• Transpiration decreases

• Transpiration stops completely

• Transpiration remains unchanged

Why is transpiration important for plants?

• It helps in the absorption of carbon dioxide

• It helps in the transport of nutrients and minerals

• It helps in the production of flowers

• It helps in the growth of roots
