The more leaves the plant has, the more surface there is for photosynthesis. This means there will be more stomata so the plant can take in more carbon dioxide. This will also result in more water vapour leaving the plant.

∙ 9y agoLeaves that are big-sized are capable of increasing the rate of transpiration if there is great sun illumination. This is why the plants in dry areas should ideally have small and needle-like leaves.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoThink of this as a question about how the leaves gather light.
Leaf color: greener leaves have more chlorophyll to trap the light.
Leaf shape: leaf blades are often broad and flat to have maximum exposure to the light. Compare this with the needles of a pine tree which don't allow as much light to hit them.
Leaf size: larger leaves have more surface area to be exposed to the light. Often plants that live in the shade have large leaves in order to get enough light.
Leaf position: think of a tree that has leaves on the outer parts of the branches and other leaves that are more within the crown of the tree. Leaves exposed to direct, unfiltered sunlight on the outside of the plant will be able to photosynthesize more than the leaves on the inside that get filtered light.

∙ 12y agoYes, simply put the size of a leaf effects the temperature of a leaf and the temperature of the leaf effects the transpiration rate of the leaf; so leaf size has an indirect but substantial effect on the rate of transpiration.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoIf the surface area of the leaf was quite big then the rate of transpiration would increase. This is because some water is lost through the cuticle of the leaf. Therefore the bigger the surface area of the leaf, the higher the rate of transpiration! :)
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoLarger the size of the leaf has greater surface area for receiving the sunlight and more stomata will have higher rate of transpiration, if other factors remain normal.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoLight affects transpiration because plants transpire faster in the light than in the dark. This is mostly because light stimulates the opening of the stomata.

∙ 11y agoTranspiration rate depends on leaf (surface area )more the surface area of leaf more the transpiration will occur.

What do plants tilt their leaves upwards during noon time?
To get more sunlight for a higher rate of photosynthesis
What is stomata conductance?
Stomatal conductance is the speed at which water evaporates from pores in a plant, and is directly related to relative size of the stomatal apature. Basically, the higher the evaporation rate, the higher the conductance of the leaf. It must also be noted that humidity, the hydration status of the plant and light intensity are also factors that affect stomatal conductance.
Do the removal of a mans testicles affect penis size?
Answer The removal of a man's testicles does NOT affect his penis size
Why is the vacuole so large in the elodea leaf?
It needs more support because of its size.
What is a definition of the rate of transpiration?
Hard to answer because transpiration rate is affected by many factors.This is from wikipediaThe rate of transpiration is directly related to the degree of stomatal opening, and to the evaporative demand of the atmosphere surrounding the leaf. The amount of water lost by a plant depends on its size, along with the surrounding light intensity, temperature, humidity, and wind speed (all of which influence evaporative demand). Soil water supply and soil temperature can influence stomatal opening, and thus transpiration rate.Maybe you mean what is a definition of transpiration rate?Transpiration rate i.e. the rate at which water is lost by a plant. Water can be lost from various parts of plants especially leaves but also stems, flowers and roots.
How might the rate of photosynthesis be affected by increasing the thickness of a leaf?
By increasing the thickness of a leaf the process of photosynthesis will become longer. This is because the sun has to penetrate through the leaf to the chloroplasts so that the chloroplasts can converge the sunlight into energy. If the thickness of the leaf is increased then the sunlight will take more time to penetrate through the leaf to reach the chloroplasts.

What 4 factors affect the rate of absorption?
One factor that affects the rate of absorption is the molecule size. Particle size, lipid water solubility, and the degree of ionization are also three other factors that affect the rate of absorption.
