2.54 Transpiration




- Transpiration is the evaporation of water from the surface of the plant
- The light energy is transferred into heat, which evaporates the water
- The water is brought to the leaf by the xylem tube
- The water transferres from liquid to gas just before the stomatal pores
- The vapor then diffuses into the outside atmosphere
