Is transpiration a type of osmosis?

What are the differences between osmosis and transpiration?
The movement of water molecules from its region of higher concentration to lower concentration of its region is called osmosis. Transpiration is the loss of water in the form of water vapour from the aerial parts of a plant.
What is the loss of water from plants called?
Transpiration is water loss from plants.
How does wilting on a hot day help a plant?
it helps it by gtowing a new leaf
How does water leave a plant?
Mainly by evaporation, although during spring some may be retracted by the tree.
How would having cuticle scraped off the surface of plants leaves affect?
It would increase transpiration and wilting .
Is leftover salad wilting in the refrigerator an example of osmosis diffusion or active transport?
Is leftover salad wilting in the refrigerator an example of osmosis diffusion
Keeps a plant from wilting?
Osmosis A+
Does excessive transpiration cause wilting in plants?
Yes, excessive transpiration can cause wilting in plants. Transpiration is the loss of water vapor from a plant's leaves, and when this process occurs at a higher rate than the plant can absorb water from its roots, it can lead to dehydration and wilting.

What name is given to the loss of water from the leaves of plants?
Water loss from leaves and stem is called transpiration
Why does wilting of leaves take place in hot summer?
the wilting of leaves take place in hot summer days because of excess transpiration.the process of transpiration take place in stomata which is present in leaves of plant.in order to excess transpiration plants wilt their leaves
When does plant wilting occur?
Plant wilting occurs after excessive loss of water by transpiration and lesser absorption by the roots. The deficiency of water in the cells make them flaccid and the plant wilts.
What is the importance of wilting?
Advantages of Wilting in Plants Though wilting is not considered good, there are few advantages. Wilting helps in reducing the rate of transpiration hence allow plants to conserve water and this prevents plant from over exhaustion in dry seasons as transpiration activities stops. Wilting also serves to reduce water loss, as it makes the leaves expose less surface area by modifying the leaf angle distribution of the plant (or canopy) towards more erectophile conditions. It develops drought resisting character in plant for survival.
Water can enter the atmosphere by evaporating from the leaves of plants in what process?
osmosis or The Water Cycle: Transpiration- evaporation from the leaves of plants
What physiologic process describes the movement from the alveoli to the blood?
Transpiration.
What is the function of guard cells in regulating transpiration and wilting?
Guard cells play a crucial role in regulating transpiration and preventing wilting in plants. They control the opening and closing of stomata, small pores on the surface of leaves. When the guard cells uptake water, they swell and the stomata open, allowing gas exchange for photosynthesis and transpiration. Conversely, when guard cells lose water, they shrink and close the stomata, preventing excessive water loss and wilting.
