Solution

Transpiration-Transpiration is the process of loss of water in the form of water vapour from the aerial parts of the plant.
Photosynthesis- It is a process in which plant produces glucose by utilizing carbon-dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.
Transpiration Photosynthesis
Water is lost in the form of water vapour.
1.Glucose is synthesized.
2. Water evaporates through the stomata. 2.Glucose is synthesized in the chloroplast.
3. It is unidirectional. 3.It takes place in all the green regions of the plants.
4. Water travels through the xylem. 4.Starch produced is transported through phloem.
