Which one of the following statements is not true about transpiration in plants?

• A. Transpiration is faster in hot summer days
• B. Transpiration is less when the wind is blowing faster
• C. Transpiration is reduced if the air is humid
• D. No transpiration occurs at night

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Transpiration is less when the wind is blowing faster

Transpiration is the loss of water in the form of water vapour from the aerial parts of the plant. Transpiration is more when wind is blowing fast as water vapour is removed faster from the leaves.
