Explain how the rate of transpiration is affected on :1. a windy day 2. a foggy day |
|
Answer» (1) on a windy day rate of transpiration increases because of the water vapour will not be allowed to accumulate in the vicinity of the leaves and an increase in the vapour pressure gradient through the stomata will lead to increased rate of transpiration. (2) A foggy day means more moisture in the air, so the rate of transpiration decreises with the rise in vapour pressure in the atmospheric air. |
