Transpiration is the evaporation of cellular water (in the form of water vapour) from the stoma in the leaves of the plants. Stoma are "pores" and are generally located on the underside of the leaves of plants.

Water accumulating in the leaves of the plants is lost as water vapor through the process of transpiration, this is similar to the process of sweating in animals.

Transpiration accomplishes two things, it does cool the leaves slightly through evaporative cooling, it also causes what is referred to as "evaporative draw" or "evaporative suction", this causes a slight low pressure in the leaves where the water is evaporating from, this provides a slight suction force assisting with water being drawn up the stem of the plant.

Why is condensation important to weather?

Condensation leads to Evaporation, which leads to Transpiration. When water gathers, it eventually evaporates, or turns into a gas because of heat, and travels across the land until it transpires (falls down) as precipitation. (rain, sleet, or snow)


What of these transports nutrients made in the leaves to all parts of the plant?

Most of the useful nutrients are dissolved or suspended in groundwater. Capillary action draws this water into the roots and up the plant, as moisture transpires from the leaves of the plant, somewhat like a siphon. Capillary action is a consequence of the surface tension of water. Once the water is in the cells of the plant, its cellular processes extract nutrients in various ways.


What is it called when water moves between biotic and abiotic factors?

The movement of water between biotic and abiotic factors is called the water cycle. In this cycle, water evaporates from bodies of water and transpires from plants, then condenses into clouds, falls back to the Earth as precipitation, and eventually returns to bodies of water or infiltrates the ground. This constant cycling of water helps sustain life on Earth.


Which cycle involves the movement of water by the processes of evaporation condensation transpiration and precipitation?

The water cycle, also known as the hydrological cycle, involves the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth through the processes of evaporation, condensation, transpiration, and precipitation. Water evaporates from bodies of water, transpires from plants, condenses in the atmosphere to form clouds, and returns to the Earth as precipitation.


Which gases will be exchanged in the stomata?

Oxygen and carbon dioxide. (O2) and (CO2)
