Question

What is the process by which plants lose water?

Answer 1

Transpiration:

1. The loss of water from the leaves of plants in the form of vapors is called transpiration.
2. It occurs through the stomatal pores in the leaves.
3. Each stomatal pore is composed of two bean-shaped guard cells enclosing a stomatal aperture.
4. Transpiration is affected by external factors such as temperature, light, humidity, etc.
5. The process of transpiration of water for photosynthesis transports minerals from the soil to all plant parts, cools leaf surfaces, and maintains the shape and structure of plant cells.
