Question

Does transpiration occur due to the activity of stomata?

Answer 1

Transpiration:

Water is lost from the aerial regions of plants in the form of water vapor through a biological process called transpiration.

Stomata:

1. Stomata are specialized pores or apertures that are found in the epidermis of plant cells and are essential for the exchange of gases during transpiration.
2. Stomata are crucial components of the transpiration process.
3. The epidermis of leaves and stems has many stomata.
4. Stomatal transpiration is the process through which water vapor diffuses through stomatal pores.
5. Conversely, transpiration takes place when the stomata are open, enabling carbon dioxide and oxygen to flow through.
6. Stomata's opening and closing are regulated by guard cells.
