Transpiration

The video tutorial explains transpiration, the process where water moves from plant roots to leaves and evaporates into the atmosphere. It highlights the role of stomata in gas exchange and water vapor release, the movement of water through the xylem, and the importance of transpiration in photosynthesis, plant cooling, and nutrient transport.

What is the primary function of transpiration in plants?

• To produce seeds

• To attract pollinators

• To transport water and nutrients

• To absorb sunlight

What are stomata primarily responsible for in plants?

• Producing chlorophyll

• Anchoring the plant to the ground

• Exchanging gases with the atmosphere

• Absorbing nutrients from the soil

How does water move through the plant during transpiration?

• Through the phloem

• Through the xylem

• Through the roots

• Through the leaves

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of transpiration?

• Facilitating photosynthesis

• Cooling the plant

• Producing flowers

• Transporting nutrients

Why is transpiration crucial for photosynthesis?

• It absorbs sunlight

• It generates oxygen

• It supplies water

• It provides carbon dioxide
