    The rate of transpiration in plants is dependent upon

    A) temperature and soil

    B) light and temperature

    C) wind, temperature and light

    D) light, temperature, atmospheric humidity and wind

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] The factors which affect the rate of transpiration are Light - stomatal opening, Temperature - increases rate of transpiration, PIumidity - low humidity increases the rate of transpiration whereas high humidity exerts an opposite effect i.e. decreases the rate. Wind increases transpiration rates, as wind moves water - saturated air away from stomata, which reduces external water vapour cone, increasing the gradient, so water to moves out of the leaf.
