Significance of transpiration:
{"Image DocumentName": "Significance of transpiration:", "Image ImageDescription": "Transpiration is described as a necessary evil for the plant as it has both advantages and disadvantages. Advantages : Absorption of water. Transpiration influences the rate of absorption of water from the soil. Water movement. By transpiration, water moves upwards and as it passes into the cell vacuoles, it makes the cells turgid. This gives form and shape to cells and plant as a whole. Mineral salt transport. The water stream moving upwards carries dissolved minerals with it. Transpiration also helps in distributing these minerals throughout the plant. Cooling. The evaporation of water during transpiration cools the leaves. Protection from heat injury. Some plants like cacti, retain water by reducing transpiration. This saves the plants from high temperatures and strong sunlight.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
