Question

Why does transpiration increase with temperature?

Answer 1

Transpiration:

1. Transpiration is the evaporation of water from plants that occurs in the leaves during photosynthesis, when stomata open and CO2 and O2 pass through.
2. As the temperature rises, the water evaporates faster, so plants sweat faster at higher temperatures.
3. This is mainly because plants open stomata and release more water vapour at warmer temperatures.
4. At 30 ° C, the leaves can sweat three times faster than at 20 ° C.
