Solution

Transpiration:

  1. The loss of water vapor through the stomata of the plants is known as transpiration.
  2. If the plant is covered with a glass jar we will see that water has accumulated in the wall of the jar this happens because of transpiration.
  3. As the water vapor which is released from the plant through the stomata does not evaporate into the environment and gets accumulated in the jar itself. This is why we see water present on the wall of the jar.
