Question : How willyou differentiate the different types of transpiration? |
|
Answer» Solution :There are three types of transpiration: Stomatal transpiration : Loss of water from plants through stomata. It accounts for 90 - 95 % of the water transpired from LEAVES. Cuticular transpiration: Loss of waterin plants through the cuticle. Lenticular transpiration: Loss of water from plants as vapour through the lenticels. The lenticels are TINY openingsthat protrude from the barks in woody stems and twigs as well as in other plant organs. But transpiration is necessary for the FOLLOWING reasons. 1. It createsa pull in leaf and stem. 2. It creates anabsorption force in roots. 3. It isnecessary for continuous supply of minerals. 4. It REGULATES the TEMPERATURE of the plant. |
