effect of environmental conditions on transpiration

Question 1

temperature

Answer 1

water will evaporate quickly as the water molecules have more kinetic energy

Question 2

humidity

Answer 2

humid air - water vapour = smaller conc gradient so transpiration slows down

Question 3

wind speed

Answer 3

moving air - water vapour blown away from leaf - speeds up transpiration

Question 4

transpiration .. as wind speed ..

Answer 4

transpiration increases as wind speed increases

Question 5

transpiration .. as humidity ..

Answer 5

transpiration increases as humidity decreases

Question 6

transpiration .. as temperature ..

Answer 6

transpiration increase as temp increases

Question 7

light intensity does NOT affect

Answer 7

evaporation

Question 8

light intensity

Answer 8

in daylight stomata leaves are open to supply CO2 for photosynthesis
allows more water to diffuse out leaves into atmosphere
