उत्तर
(i) Transpiration
(ii) Transpiration is a process by which water is lost in the form of water vapour from the aerial parts of the plant.
(iii) Weight of test tube A before the experiment was more than its weight after the experiment. This is because water from test tube A has evaporated due to transpiration.Weight of test tube B remains the same before and after the experiment, because no loss of water occurs in test tube B.
(iv) Test tube B is used here as a control. This makes the observation of the change in test tube A easy.
