How is the rate of transpiration affected by intensity of light and temperature?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

During sunlight, open stomata facilitate the diffusion of carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. On a cloudy day, the stomata are partially closed, and hence transpiration is reduced. During night, the stomata remain closed. Hence, transpiration occurs the most during day light.
When the outside temperature is high, there is more evaporation from the leaves. Conversely, when the temperature of the surrounding is reduced, there is less evaporation.
