New cards

what is transpiration

transportation of water and minerals from toors to leaves

2
New cards

what cells are involved in transpiration

dead xylem cells —> hollow with no ends and are strengthened by lignin

3
New cards

what process drives transpiration

evaporation of water from surface of plant through leaves

4
New cards

chain of water molecules that slowly pulls up as water evaporates

5
New cards

how does transpiration link to photosynthesis

  • water keep evaporating so plant keeps performing transpiration

  • forms a steady stream of water up the plant

  • this allows CO2 into the plant as stomata can stay open

  • which allows plant to photosynthesize
