Solution

Transpiration:

  1. Transpiration is the evaporation of water from the surface of the plants.
  2. It occurs in the leaves at the same time as their stomata are open for the passage of CO2 and O22 for photosynthesis.
  3. Water from the roots is pulled up to supply it to the leaves with the help of photosynthesis and brings minerals from the roots for biosynthesis in the leaf.

Photometer:

  1. A photometer is a device that is used to degree the uptake of water with the aid of using the plant shoot.
  2. Nowadays, transpiration is measured with the aid of using a photometer, called Ganong's photometer.
