Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transpiration is the loss of water from the aerial parts of plants, mostly through stomata on leaves. Hydration refers to the uptake of water by plant cells. High heat of vaporization refers to the high amount of heat required to turn water from liquid to gas. Respiration is the process by which organisms convert nutrients into usable energy. Gas exchange refers to the exchange of gases (such as oxygen and carbon dioxide) between an organism and its environment.
