[A]: Wax, resin and suberin coating on the surface of plant parts reduce the rate of tran- spiration. [R]: These adaptations are found mostly in xerophytes.

An adaptation to reduce transpiration is

Assertion : Light plays an important role in process of transpiration. Reason : Light leads to opening of stomata and in dark stomata get closed.

Assertion:Water in liquid form reaches to plant surfaces in transpiration process. Reason:At plant surface, water changes from liquid to vapour phase.

The type of plants having adaptations to check transpiration is

Assertion : Potometer is used to measure the rate of transpiration. Reason : It is based on principle that water lost in transpiration is equal to water absorbed.

Assertion:Light is very important factor in transpiration. Reason:It induces stomatal opening and darkness closing.Therefore, transpiration increases in light decreases in dark .
