Question

Is transpiration active or passive?

Answer 1

Transpiration is a passive process.

Passive absorption:

1. Passive water absorption does not necessitate the use of metabolic energy.
2. Absorption occurs as a result of metabolic activity such as transpiration.
3. Passive absorption is the type of absorption that occurs as a result of transpiration pull.
4. Tension (force) is created by the transpiration pull, which aids in the upward movement of water into the xylem sap.
5. The higher the transpiration rate, the greater the water absorption.
