Question

Which of the following is not an advantage of transpiration?

• A. Removes extra water
• B. Cools down the plant
• C. Transportation of food
• D. Transportation of water

Answer 1

The correct option is C Transportation of food

• Transpiration is the loss of water in the form of vapours through the stomata. Water absorbs heat from the surface of the plant and evaporates which provides a cooling effect.
• Due to continuous loss of water, a pull is generated called transpirational pull. As a result, roots pull up more water from the soil to compensate for the transpirational loss.
