    Transpiration is the loss of water vapor from plant leaves through evaporation at mesophyll cell surfaces and diffusion through stomata. It drives the absorption of water and minerals from the soil, helps cool leaves during intense light, and is necessary for photosynthesis. The rate is affected by light, humidity, air movement, and temperature. Xylem tissue and cohesion tension allow water to be pulled up from the soil through transpiration. Translocation then moves sugars from leaves to other plant parts via the phloem.

    Transpiration
    • A driving force to absorb water from the soil
    • Transpiration stream
    • Transpiration is the loss of water vapour from plant leaves by
    evaporation of water at the surfaces of the mesophyll cells followed
    by the diffusion of water vapour through the stomata.
    Importance of transpiration
    • Maximum mineral absorption
    • Help leaves to cool down when intense light in day
    • Inevitable consequence of photosynthesis
    Role of Stomata
    • Humidity
    • Plant water conditions
    • Light intensity
    • Carbon dioxide concentration
    Rate of transpiration
    • Light intensity
    • Humidity
    • Air movement
    • Temperature
    Role of Xylem and Cohesion tension theory
    • Suction can pull water up to 10 feet not above this
