Transpiration rate

Cards (4)

  • Light intensity
    The brighter light the greater transpiration rate. stomata closes when dark. photosynthesis can’t happen in dark so don’t need to be open to let CO2 in
  • Temperature
    The warmer the faster it happens. when warm water particles have more energy to evaporate and diffuse out stomata
  • Air flow
    The better air flow around a leaf better rate. if air flow poor water vapour surrounds leaf means high concentration so bad diffusion rate
  • Humidity
    Drier air the faster rate. humid lots of Water so not different concentration
