| (i) It is regulated by guard cells | It is due to root pressure. |
| (ii) It occurs at day time. | It occurs at night. |
| (iii) Water escapes through stomata and lenticels. | Water escapes through hydathodes only. |
| (iv) Water escapes in the form of water vapour. | Water escapes from the hydathodes on the margin of the leaves in the form of water droplets. |
