Question

The process of transpiration in plants helps in:

• A. Opening of stomata.
• B. Absorption of $C{O}_2$ from atmosphere.
• C. Upward conduction of water and minerals.
• D. Absorption of $O_2$ from atmosphere.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Upward conduction of water and minerals.

• The evaporation of excess water from the stomata present on the leaf surface is called transpiration.
• It is important for the upward movement of water in plants and in regulating the temperature of plants.
• It creates a suction pressure that pulls up water from the xylem of the roots to the stem and then to the leaves.
  

So, the correct answer is option C.
