Solution
| Sr. No. | Stomatal Transpiration | Lenticular Transpiration |
| 1. | Loss of water in the form of water vapour through minute pore called stomata. | Loss of water in the form of water vapour through lenticels. |
| 2. | Stomata are confined to epidermis of green shoot and leaves. | Lenticels are confined in woody stem and fruits. |
| 3. | It amounts for 90% to 95% of the water transpired from leaves. | It amounts for 1% to 5% of the total water loss by the plants. |

The apparatus shown in the following diagram is Garreau’s potometer designed to demonstrate unequal transpiration from the two surfaces of a dorsiventral leaf. Before keeping the leaf in between the cups, anhydrous calcium chloride (CaCl2) contained in two small vials were weighed and placed in both the cups. The ends of the cups were closed with corks through which two mercury manometers were connected. After few hours, CaCl2 vials were taken out and weighed again.
