   Transpiration
   The evaporation of moisture from a living plant, mainly through the stomata of the leaf. This moisture represents a surplus from that taken in by the roots and which is not required for photosynthesis.

    Transpiration
    The evaporation of water from aerial parts of plants especially leaves but also stems, flowers and fruits. Transpiration is a side effect of the plant needing to open its stomata in order to obtain carbon dioxide from the air for photosynthesis. Transpiration also cools plants and enables mass flow of mineral nutrients from roots to shoots

    Transpiration
    `Transpiration` is the evaporation of water from the aerial parts of plants, especially leaves but also stems, flowers and roots. Leaf transpiration occurs through stomata, and can be thought of as a necessary `cost` associated with the opening of stomata to allow the diffusion of carbon dioxide gas from the air for photosynthesis. Transpiration also cools plants and enables mass flow of mineral nutrients from roots to shoots. Mass flow is caused...

    Transpiration
    Transpiration is the process of water loss from plants through stomata. Stomata are small openings found on the underside of leaves that are connected to vascular plant tissues. Some dry environment plants do have the ability to open and close their stomata. Transpiration is a passive process largely controlled by the humidity of the atmospheric an...
