Question

Write the internal factors that influences transpiration.

Answer 1

• Water content of the leaves: When there is a shortage of water or if the roots fail to absorb enough water, the moisture levels inside the leaves drop. This causes the leaves to wilt and prompts the stomata to close naturally to prevent further water loss.
• Other structural factors: The orientation of the leaves, physical modifications, and differences in how stomata are distributed across the leaf surface also affect the overall rate of transpiration.
