Question

The excess water is lost by stomata by the process of _____________.

• A. Transpiration
• B. Evaporation
• C. Moment of water
• D. Absorption

Answer 1

The correct option is A Transpiration

• Transpiration is the process in which plants release the water inside it in the form of moisture or water vapor to the external atmosphere.
  
• Water is transient (lasting only for a short time) in plants. Less than 1 %of the water reaching the leaves is used in photosynthesis and plant growth. Most of it is lost through the stomata in the leaves. This water loss is known as transpiration.
• Hence the excess water is lost by stomata by the process of Transpiration.
• So, the correct answer is 'Transpiration'.
