Transpiration



Important Notes to Know
  • Transpiration is the evaporation of water from the surface of a plant.
  • The equation for transpiration is H20+Sunlight----> Gas
  • Phase change from liquid to gas occurs in the space just above the stomatal pore
  • Diffusion of water vapor happens through the stomatal pore.
  • Sunlight warms the leaf in order of evaporation to occur.
  • Sunlight is absorbed by the leaf which emits heat and that causes the phase change to water vapor.
