Question

Find out the correct sequence of the following in the decreasing order of rate of transpiration.

• A. Stomatal $\to$ Cuticular $\to$ Lenticular
• B. Cuticular $\to$ Lenticular $\to$ Stomatal
• C. Lenticular $\to$ Stomatal $\to$ Cuticular
• D. Stomatal $\to$ Lenticular $\to$ Cuticular

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Stomatal $\to$ Cuticular $\to$ Lenticular

Stomatal transpiration accounts for almost 90% of the total transpiration. Cuticular transpiration accounts for 5-10 % whereas, lenticular transpiration accounts for 0.1% of the total transpiration.

So, the correct answer is option A.
