Question

Transpiration will be more in dim light.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Transpiration: Loss of water through a plant and its evaporation from the aerial parts of the plant like leaves, stems, and flowers is known as transpiration.

Light intensity regulates transpiration:

1. The rate of transpiration can be changed by the intensity of light.
2. The process of transpiration is faster in plants in the light than they do in the dark.
3. This is due to the fact that light causes the stomata to open.
4. By warming the leaf, light also accelerates transpiration.
5. At higher temperatures, plants transpire fast because water evaporates more rapidly as the temperature rises.

Final Answer: The given statement ‘Transpiration will be more in dim light’ is false.
