The evaporation of water from leaves of a plant is called ___________.
-
transpiration
-
transport
-
respiration
-
all the above
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Transpiration is the biological process where water evaporates from the leaves of plants, primarily through stomata. This creates a transpiration pull that helps draw water and minerals up from the roots. Transport refers to general movement, respiration is the release of energy from glucose, and 'all the above' is incorrect because only transpiration fits the definition.
