Transpiration Defined
• The loss of water vapor through open leaf stomata.

Transpiration
• How does transpiration work?• On sunny, warm days the sun warms up the leaf
surfaces.• The water in the cells of a leaf begins to
evaporate.

Transpiration
• Water vapor collects in the spongy mesophyll tissue of the leaf.
• The water vapor moves out of spongy mesophyll, through the open stomata, and into the drier air surrounding the leaf.
• As water evaporates from the spongy mesophyll, new water molecules are delivered to the leaf through the xylem in leaf veins.

Rate of Transpiration
• The rate of transpiration is affected by the following 3 things:
• Humidity; during dry, less humid days the rate of transpiration increases.
• Temperature; the rate of transpiration is greater on hot days than on cooler, cloudy days.
• Wind; the rate of transpiration is greater on windy days than calmer days.

Water Movement
• There are 3 main factors that affect the movement of water through plants. They are:
• Osmosis• Transpiration• The properties of water molecules

Root Hairs Osmosis
• Water enters root hairs by osmosis.
• Water quickly moves through the root hairs and into the xylem.

• Transpiration “pulls” or “sucks” water up stems in much the same way that you pull liquid up through a straw.
• Water molecules (H2O) are electrically charged.
• Because of this water molecules stick to one another like little magnets.

Respiration
• Compliments photosynthesis.
• Inputs:– sugar– oxygen
• Outputs:– water– carbon dioxide– heat– chemical energy (used in plant growth)
