How light intensity affects transpiration?

Answer 1

light, along with carbon dioxide and water allows photosynthesis to happen, producing glucose and oxygen.

therefore, the glucose created may allow the plant to transpire?

so im thinking the light along with carbon dioxe and water equally affects the activity of transpiration, using the energy made by photosynthesis.

i may not be correct as im year10, and i just briefly read the definition of transpiration, but that's what i think.

EDIT: College student

Carbon dioxide and light are necessary for photosynthesis to occur. Plants have specialized structures known as stomata, essentially tiny little mouths, that open up in order to allow carbon dioxide to enter the plant. The problem is, plants also really need water, and when stomata are open, water leaks out the tiny little holes. It wouldn't be very efficient to keep the stomata open all the time, as the plant would constantly be losing water. For that reason, plants only open their stomata when all the conditions are right for photosynthesis. If light and CO2 are missing, the stomata stay closed and the plant gets to keep its water. If light and CO2 are present, the stomata open and photosynthesis begins. Transpiration is defined by water loss through the leaves of a plant, so it makes sense that it would go way up when the stomata are open. Transpiration rate increases with light intensity.

Answer 2

opens stomata & increases tranpiration from heat

Answer 3

Because it provides the plant with energy to carry out transpiration

Answer 4

Light intensity has an important role on rate of transpiration . Transpiration is greater in day light as it enlarges the size of stomata and more water is lost to atmosphere.

Answer 5

Hypothesis is accepted. The higher the light intensity, the higher the rate of transpiration.
