Question

Plants factors that affect transpiration include

• A. Humidity
• B. Distribution of stomata
• C. Canopy structure
• D. Water status of the plant
• E. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is E All of the above

Transpiration is the loss or evaporation of water through the surface of the plant leaves in the form of vapor. Humidity and water are the main factors on which transpiration rate is dependent upon them, they are directly proportional to each other i.e; if humidity increases then other transpiration will also increase. The size of the opening of stomatal apertures also affects transpiration while the canopy structure refers to the shaded area where due to less air movement and shade transpiration rate decreases.

So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'.
