Question
Write short note : Transpiration
✓
Answer
- Plants give out water in the form of water vapour through the stomata on their leaves. This is known as transpiration.
- Two cells called guard cells are present around the stomata. They control the opening and closing of stomata.
- Water is released into the atmosphere by leaves through the process of evaporation.
- As a result, water in the epidermal layer of the leaf decreases.
- Water is brought up to the leaves through the xylem to compensate for the lost water.
- Transpiration helps in absorption of water and minerals and distribution to all parts of the plant.
