Question

1. How is the process of transpiration useful for plants?

Answer 1

Process of transpiration is useful to plants in the following ways:

• It creates transpirational pull for transport.

• It supplies water for photosynthesis.

• It transports minerals from soil to all parts of a plant.

• It cools the surface of the leaves (due to the evaporation of water).

• It keeps the cells turgid; hence, maintains their shape.
