Transpiration
Loss of water vapour from the leaves + stems of plants
occurs when
hydrogen bonds break
water vapour
diffuses out the leaf through the stomata
transpiration rates are affected by
temperature
humidity
wind
transpiration + temperature
positive correlation → increase in temperature, increase in transpiration → more energy to break hydrogen bonds
transpiration + wind
increased wind → less transpiration → stomata closes
humidity + transpiration
negative transpiration → more humidity = smaller concentration gradient → little transpiration when outside of the leaf is saturated with water vapour
