Write short notes on:Transpiration
Answer»
Plants give out water in the form of water vapour through the stomata on their leaves. This is known as transpiration.
Two cells called guard cells are present around the stomata. They control the opening and closing of stomata.
Water is released into the atmosphere by leaves through the process of evaporation.
As a result, water in the epidermal layer of the leaf decreases.
Water is brought up to the leaves through the xylem to compensate for the lost water.
Transpiration helps in absorption of water and minerals and distribution to all parts of the plant.
