Transpiration

Question 1

What are the 4 main factors that affect transpiration

Answer 1

Humidity
Wind
Light intensity
Temperature

Question 2

How does light intensity affect transpiration

Answer 2

The brighter the light the greater the transpiration rate
More of
Photosynthesis, co2, stomata open more, more evaporation

Question 3

How does wind affect transpiration

Answer 3

Faster transpiration rate
More:
Air movement/dryer air, water removed from surface of leaves, more evaporation

Question 4

How does temperature (heat) affect transpiration

Answer 4

Faster transpiration rate \
More sun
More kinetic energy in water

Question 5

How does humidity affect transpiration

Answer 5

more humidity/moisture in the air
Less difference between water ion air and leaf
Less water removed from surface of leaf
Less evaporation
Slower transpiration

Question 6

What is transpiration

Answer 6

The loss of water from a plant, from the roots to the leaves

Question 7

What is transpiration caused by

Answer 7

Evaporation and diffusion of water from a plants surface

Question 8

Evaporation causes a shortage of water in the leaf, where is more water drawn up from

Answer 8

The rest of the plant, through the xylem

Question 9

What is the transpiration stream

Answer 9

The constant flow of water through a plant
