The rate of transpiration depends on some environmental factors such as
Temperature and windWhen the temperature is high rate of evaporation increases as warm air can hold more water vapours than the cold air. Windy condition also increase the rate of transpiration as wind remove water vapours from around the leaf. HumidityWhen there is more humidity in air, transpiration would be considerably low as the air is already saturated with water vapours and it will be unable to absorb more water so little water will diffuse out of the leaves. LightLight greatly influences the opening and closing of stomata. During day light the stomata remain open and allow water vapours from the leaves to diffuse into the atmosphere. Atmospheric pressureReduction in the atmospheric pressure enhances the rate of transpiration.

How does a hair dryer help in a transpiration experiment?
Hair dryer is used to create hot air and when this air is applied to plant it will imbibe more water from soil as the rate of transpiration will increase due to heat or hot air
What role do root hairs play in the process of transpiration?
They increase surface area . They create a covering with air. It reduces transpiration rate
How does mist affect the rate of transpiration?
How does humidity affect the rate of 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
What is the loss of water through a plant's leaves is called?
Evaporation of water through the plant's leaves is called transpiration.
How does a plant stomata work?
Increase 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 light affect the gradient of water potential of a plant leaf?
Transpiration regulates how much water moves through the plant. In hot dry air, more water will evaporate out of the stomates resulting in a higher transpiration rate. Light, or temperature, can therefore increase transpiration. Wind will evaporate more water from the leaf's boundary layer resulting in a higher transpiration rate. Humidity or moisture will lower transpiration because less water will evaporate out of the stomates.
What could happen if transpiration rate is greater than absorption rate?
You will create a soil moisture deficit as more water is being lost from the soil than is entering it. This will increase soil suction, which will make it more difficult for plant roots to take up water (this will reduce transpiration) and can effect plant growth. Plant may respond by closing the stoma on their leaves to reduce transpiration to prevent this. If however the pore water suction continues to increase it may exceed the permanent wilting point of the plant which can ultimately result in the plant dying.

Which plant does highest photosynthesis?
Transpiration rates increase in a plant when the stomata are open. In desert plants, the stomata are very small but are almost always open. They have the highest transpiration rate.
What role do root hairs play in the process of transpiration?
They increase surface area . They create a covering with air. It reduces transpiration rate
How does mist affect the rate of transpiration?
How does humidity affect the rate of transpiration
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.
If soil temperature rises will plant growth increase?
Plants transpire to keep themselves cool. So, in the rise of temperature, they will have to keep themselves more cool through transpiration. Therefore, the rate of transpiration increases in the rise of temperature. Answer by: Avni Mehta

What affect does drought have on the rate of transpiration?
Water supply: If water is in short supply, then the plant will close its stomata. This will cut down the rate of transpiration. Transpiration decreases when the water supply decreases below a certain level.
