Question

Which of the following plants will not have transpiration?

• A. Plants growing in hilly regions
• B. Aquatic, submerged plants
• C. Plants growing in deserts
• D. Aquatic plants with floating leaves

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Aquatic, submerged plants

Submerged aquatic plants do not have stomata. Instead of stomata, the plants surface cells are capable of absorbing water, nutrients, and dissolved gases in the water. Since they are devoid of stomata they do not transpire.
