Transpiración

The video explains the process of transpiration in plants, focusing on how water vapor escapes through stomata on the leaf surface. This water loss creates a suction effect that aids in drawing more water from the roots, overcoming gravitational forces.

What is the primary site of transpiration in plants?

• Roots

• Leaves

• Stems

• Flowers

What are the small openings on the leaf surface called?

• Glands

• Stomata

• Veins

• Pores

What is the main function of stomata in leaves?

• Store nutrients

• Release water vapor

• Absorb sunlight

• Protect from insects

How does the loss of water through transpiration affect water movement in plants?

• It causes water to evaporate

• It creates a suction effect

• It stops water movement

• It reduces water absorption

What force does the suction effect help overcome in plants?

• Wind resistance

• Gravity

• Soil pressure

• Nutrient deficiency
