Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: A
The correct answer is transpiration.
- Transpiration is the process by which plants release water vapor into the atmosphere, primarily through tiny pores called stomata on their leaves.
- Guttation is the process of water droplets being released from the edges of leaves, but it's not the primary way plants lose water to the atmosphere.
- Translocation is the movement of substances (like sugars) within the plant.
- Evaporation is the process by which water changes from liquid to vapor, but it's a general term and not specific to plants.
