Solution
There are three types of transpiration:
1. Stomatal transpiration: (1 mark)
Loss of water from plants through stomata. It accounts for 90- 95% of the water transpired from leaves.
2. Cuticular transpiration: (1 mark)
Loss of water in plants through the cuticle.
3. Lenticular transpiration: (1 mark)
Loss of water from plants as vapour through the lenticels. The lenticels are tiny openings that protrude from the barks in woody stems and twigs as well as in other plant organs.
