Four plants are present in different enviromental conditions. Plant A is present in warm climate with continous rainfall, plant B is present in a cool forest, Plant C is presnt in warm climate with little breeze while plant D is present in warm climate high wind speed. which one of the above plants will have highest rate of transpiration?

Correct answer: C. Plant D

  • A. Plant B
  • B. Plant C
  • C. Plant D
  • D. Plant A

Explanation

Rate of transpiration is directly proportional to light, temperature and wind. while it is inversely proportional to humidity in air.Plant D is in a warm climate with high wind speed. Wind increases the movement of air around the leaves, which in turn increases the rate of water vapor diffusion from the leaf surfaces. This can result in a higher rate of transpiration compared to the other scenarios.

About Circulation

The circulatory system covers the chambers, valves and conducting pathway of the human heart, along with the cardiac cycle and control of heartbeat. It compares arteries, veins and capillaries by structure and function, and explains how the lymphatic system returns tissue fluid, transports absorbed fats and supports immunity.
