Question

Which of the following plants do not transpire?

• A. Algae
• B. Submerged hydrophytes
• C. Fungi
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

Transpiration is the loss of water in vapour form, from the plant to the atmosphere. Transpiration is characteristic of land plants only and is not shown by submerged hydrophytic plants and lower aquatic plants like Algae.

Fungi are not plants. Fungi are achlorophyllous heterotrophic organism, which do not prepare their own food. Fungi also do not show the phenomenon of transpiration. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
