Select the types of transpiration occurring in plants.
Select the types of transpiration occurring in plants.
The correct options are
A Stomataltranspiration
B Lenticular transpiration
C Cuticular transpiration
There are three types of transpiration
1. Stomatal transpiration
2. Lenticular transpiration
3. Cuticular transpiration
Stomatal transpiration: Stomata are minute pores confined to the epidermis of green shoot and leaves. Opening and closing of stomata are controlled by guard cells. Maximum loss (80-90 per cent of the total water loss) of water from the plant tissues takes place through the stomatal opening. .
Lenticular transpiration: Loss of water in the form of water vapour taking place through the lenticels present in woody stem and fruits is called as lenticular transpiration. It amounts to 1-5 per cent of the total water loss by the plant.
Cuticular Transpiration: The loss of water in the form of water vapour through the cuticle is known as cuticular transpiration.
