My first guess would be that they evaporate at the same speed, trick question. My second guess would be that the leaves are higher, and there's much less water on the plant, so it would evaporate faster; that's not taking into account shaded areas. To me, transpiration -is- evaporation, so it's the same speed. But don't take my word for it. My first guess would be that they evaporate at the same speed, trick question.

TRANSPIRATION is The act or process of transpiring, especially through the stomata of plant surface .
while
EVAPORATION is Conversion of a liquid to the vapor state .
Evaporation is faster as compared to evaporation . Many factors are involved in it.
Most transpiration takes place during day while evaporation day and night .

what is the balance plants maintain to prevent them from losing too much water?
Plants use to keep balance in the rate of transpiration by leaves and absorption of water by the roots. If transpiration increases and absorption does not increase, the young leaves start wilting so that the rate of transpiration can be mi minimized.
How does humidity affects the rate of transpiration?
Transpiration rates decrease proportionally to the amount of humidity in the air. This is because water diffuses from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. Thus, when the air spaces between the mesophyll cells in a leaf are saturated with water vapor, and the air outside the leaf is likewise saturated, there is a shallow gradient. A shallow gradient results in a slower transpiration rate. Conversely, if the air outside the leaf is relatively dry, the gradient becomes steep and the rate of transpiration increases.
What are the two ways in which the sunlight increases the rate of transpiration?
generally speaking, transpiration speeds up when light intensity increases because the stomata respond to changes in light intensity. the other reason is that that sunlight may also warm up the leaves and increase evaporation.
How does wind affect rate of transpiration of stomata?
It takes the seed more faster and it might take the seed to some place it can't grow. Rate of transpiration increases with the increased wind velocity upto certain limit thereafter it starts declining due to closure of stomata.
Why water lost in transpiration is not constant?
Because there is no consistancy in the rate of transpiration
How do you think temperature will effect transpiration in a plant?
Increase in temperature also increases the rate of evaporation of water, hence temperature will effect transpiration
How does a type of plant affect transpiration?
*stomata -open-increased transpiration -closed-decreased transpiration *consequence of gas exchange -tradeoff of more gas exchange resulting in more transpiration *environmental factors -humidity -air movement -evaporative cooling -wind stress -intense light/heat

How does acid rain effect things made of metal such as transpiration?
Transpiration it the biological process of the movement of water from roots to stoma through plants. it is not made of metal as it is not a physical entity in itself. Acid rain would probably eat away at things made of metal, and it affects transpiration because it increases the hydrogen ions in the xylem, which increases the cohesion and the rate of transpiration.
How does humidity affects the rate of transpiration?

What is the operational definition of the rate of transpiration?
The rate of transpiration is the position of air bubble

generally speaking, transpiration speeds up when light intensity increases because the stomata respond to changes in light intensity. the other reason is that that sunlight may also warm up the leaves and increase evaporation.
What happens to the rate of photosynthesis during scanty rainfall in the area?
It decreases. To avoid transpiration leaves fold to reduce the surface area and roots penetrate deep inside.
How does wind affect rate of transpiration of stomata?
It takes the seed more faster and it might take the seed to some place it can't grow. Rate of transpiration increases with the increased wind velocity upto certain limit thereafter it starts declining due to closure of stomata.
Why water lost in transpiration is not constant?
Because there is no consistancy in the rate of transpiration
What happens to productivity as rainfall increases?
Productivity decreases as rainfall increases. Marine life tend to be more productive when there is less rainfall in their ecosystem.
How does high humidity affect transpiration?
High humidity reduces the rate of transpiration.
