Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transpiration is the process by which plants lose water from their leaves in the form of water vapor. This occurs through small openings on the surface of leaves called stomata. Evaporation refers to the process of water turning into water vapor due to an increase in temperature, but it is not exclusive to plants. Dehydration refers to the condition of the plant when it loses too much water and becomes wilted or dies. Guttation refers to the process by which a plant releases excess water, in the form of droplets, from its leaves or stems, usually during the night.
