Solution

during high rate of transpiration the water loss would be more thus decreased water potential of epidermal cell.

Q. Components of water potential of four cells of an actively transpiring monocot plant are

Cell	Osmotic Potential	Pressure Potential
a	-0.9	0.5
b	-0.8	0,6
c	-0.6	0.1
d	-0.7	0.4

Identify the four cells as root hair, cortical cell, epidermal and pericycle cells.

Absorption of minerals by the epidermal cells of root and root hair causes the water to enter from surrounding soil into roots. It further reaches the root xylem. Thus, due to a continuous uptake of water by root cells, a water pressure is created in the root xylem. This pressure is called as________

The rate of transpiration increases with the decrease in atmospheric pressure.
