Transpiration is a continuous process caused by the evaporation of water from leaf of plants and its corresponding uptake from roots in the soil. Transpiration cools plants down and enables ''mass flow'' of minerals to where it is needed in the plant. Mass flow is caused by the decrease in hydrostatic (water) pressure in the upper parts of the plants due to the diffusion of water out of stomata into the Earth's atmosphere. Water is absorbed at the roots by osmosis, and any dissolved solutes travel with it through the xylem. The rate of transpiration is directly related to whether the stomata are open or closed. The amount of water lost by a plant depends on its size, along with the surrounding light intensity, temperature, humidity, wind speed, and water supply. A fully grown tree may lose several hundred gallons (a few m³) of water through its leaves on a hot, dry day. About 90% of the water that enters a plant's roots is used for this process. Desert plants and conifers have specially adapted structures, such as needles or thick, fleshy leaves to reduce transpiration and its effects. ==See also== *Antitranspirant *Evapotranspiration *Transpirational pull *Ecohydrology *Measuring transpiration with a potometer ---- Transpiration may also refer to the excessive production of sweat in human beings with many problems of its own, see Hyperhydrosis, Bromhidrosis/Bromidrosis (Bromadrosis). == References == * [http://extension.oregonstate.edu/mg/botany/transpir.html A desription of transpiration, including a short animation illustrating the process] Plant physiology Hydrology
this page is discussing the parts and all about the transpiration plant.this page is very valuable. i would just read this page if i were you because it mightjust inlighten you.i read it and it is helping me with my science homework Oh and make contribution to wikipedia. like god said {give and it will come back to you] == the page == it is a good page. it inlightened me :We're glad you liked it User:Theresa knott ---- what about capillary action? and how much is transpired, through, say, a tree? a plant? For a tree it's a lot! I've amended the article. User:Theresa knott 14:33, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC) ---- How would a plant placed within 0.1 Mol solution of KCl affect its transpiration rates?
