Question

Which of these options contains processes involving change of state from LIQUID to GAS?

• A. Evaporation and sublimation
• B. Evaporation and respiration
• C. Respiration and transpiration
• D. Evaporation and transpiration

Answer 1

The correct option is D Evaporation and transpiration

Water is removed from the surface of the Earth to the atmosphere by two distinct mechanisms: evaporation and transpiration.

Evaporation can be defined as the process where liquid water is transformed into a gaseous state.

Transpiration is the process of water loss from plants through stomata. Stomata are small openings found on the underside of leaves that are connected to vascular plant tissues.
