Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transpiration is the process by which plants lose water through their leaves. The amount of transpiration that occurs is partially controlled by the plants themselves through the opening and closing of stomata on their leaves.

Answer: B
 Leaf veins play a crucial role in transpiration by supplying water to the leaf cells and carrying away the water vapor that is lost through transpiration.

Answer: D
 Transpiration is a water output in the water balance equation of plants, as it involves the loss of water from the plant.

Options A and E are incorrect. Transpiration does not warm the surfaces of leaves, and it is not similar to ingestion in mammals.
