Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transpiration is the process of water moving up through the roots, stems, and leaves of a plant and then evaporating from the leaves. This process can be compared to sucking soda through a straw because in both cases there is a movement of a fluid (water in transpiration and soda in sucking) through a small area (stomata in transpiration and a straw in sucking). The other options listed do not accurately represent the process of transpiration.
