Evaporation of water from the leaves produces ____________.

Open in App

Solution

Stomata :
There are some pores present on the lower surface of leaves that help in gas exchange and transpiration. These pores are known as stomata.
Transpiration :
The evaporation of water in the form of vapour through the stomata into the external environment is known as transpiration.
Suction pull :
The evaporation of water through stomata creates a suction pull in the cell which ends up sucking water from the surrounding. This suction pressure leads up to the xylem vessel that ends up to the root. That is how transpiration helps in the ascent of sap.
Final answer : Evaporation of water from the leaves produces suction pull.
