Question

State whether the following statements are true or false.

The loss of water by transpiration is very high when the air becomes very moist

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Transpiration:

1. It is the process of water loss in the form of water vapor from the stomatal openings in the aerial parts of the plants.
2. The rate of transpiration is affected by several atmospheric factors such as temperature, moisture content of air, etc.
3. When the air has a high moisture content, then water loss by transpiration is less and vice versa.
4. Therefore, the amount of moisture in the air affects the rate of transpiration.

Final answer: The given statement is false.
