उत्तर
- Transpiration
- The loss of water from aerial sections of the plant in the form of water vapour.
- Oil is poured on water to stop evaporation-induced water loss.
- When the configuration is set,
- Transpiration causes the amount of water to drop in strong sunlight quickly.
- In humid conditions, the water level doesn't change much as the rate of transpiration decreases.
- The water level drops quickly during transpiration on a windy day.
- Leaves have morphological adaptations to control their transpiration rate, as follows:
- Thick cuticle: A quite thick cuticle could cover the leaves, e.g., banyan.
- Loss of leaves: As in cactus, some plants have leaves lost or absent.
- Narrow leaves: In order to decrease the surface area for transpiration, certain plants, such as Nerium, develop narrower leaves.
