Question

Which one is not related to transpiration?

• A. Regulation of plant body temperature
• B. Absorption and distribution of mineral salts
• C. Circulation of water
• D. Bleeding

Answer 1

The correct option is D Bleeding

Bleeding takes place through injured organs of the plant. It usually describes fluid oozing from injured plant parts. Transpiration describes the loss of water in vapour form and helps in cooling of leaf surface as well as the movement of mineral ions in transpiration stream. Transpiration is primarily responsible for uptake of water circulating in plant's xylem vessels and tracheids.
