Transpiration Definition

Transpiration is the process of loss of water in the form of water vapor from the leaves and other aerial parts of the plant

8 Important Steps Of Transpiration

  1. Water enters the root from the soil by Osmosis.
  2. Water moves into the xylem by Osmosis.
  3. Cohesion between water molecules forms a continuous Water column from the roots to the leaves.
  4. Which in turn pulls the water column in the xylem of the shoot and root upward.
  5. Which in turn pulls water in the veins of the leaves upward and outward.
  6. Tension pulls water from the veins into the apoplast surrounding the mesophyll cells.
  7. Water evaporates from mesophyll cell walls.
  8. During transpiration water vapor diffuses out of the leaf through pores called stomata.
