What happens in transpiration?

Question

Could someone talk me throught the stages of transpiration but simply? I need it for some biology homework.

Answer 1

a). water exits leaf through stomata.

b). this water loss is replaced by evaporation from mesophyll cells, lowering their water potential, causing them to take water from neighboring cells.

c). the process connects back to the tracheids causing water to be taken from the xylem.

d).Water travels from the tracheids to the air following a water potential gradient.

e). Waters cohesive and adhesive properties and the small diameter of xylem aid in its movement of up the tube.

f). This pull decreases water pressure in the xylem causing the roots to take water from the soil.

Answer 2

Transpiration is when water from plants is evaporated into the atmosphere. It usually happens when, during photosynthesis, the plant's stomata is open so that carbon dioxide and oxygen can pass through. When transpiration occurs, not only is the water cycle being executed, but also it pulls water up from the roots into the plant leaves, supplies needed materials for photosynthesis and even cools the leaf.

Transpiration begins with the roots of the plant collect water from the soil. The water is then pumped through the plant to the leaves' stomatas. The stomatas are found on the underside of the leaf and are attached to vascular plant tissue. Also, as a result of transpiration, nutrients from the soil are brought into the plant to assist its growth and development.
