Question

Which of these is not the goal of transpiration?

• A. Prevention of loss of water
• B. Helping in the absorption and transportation process
• C. Supplying water for photosynthesis
• D. Keeping the plant cool

Answer 1

The correct option is A Prevention of loss of water

Transpiration helps in the absorption of carbon dioxide gas from the atmosphere and its transportation.

It also helps in maintaining the temperature of the plant by releasing water which gets evaporated taking away the heat of the plant.

Transpiration leads to water loss so it cannot prevent loss of water.

So the correct answer is 'Prevention of loss of water'.
