A Correct answer
Explanation

Statement 1 is incorrect. Transpiration does not take place through stomata only. Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers. Statement 2 is correct. The smaller the cell, the more it will be active metabolically, e.g. RBCs which are smaller as compared to other body cells carry the maximum oxygen to body parts.
