Study Notes
Transpiration in Plants and Animals
- In animals, the process of transpiration is not applicable, as it is a unique feature of plants.
Photosynthetic Organ
- The leaf is considered the major photosynthetic organ of a plant.
Purpose of Transpiration
- The primary purpose of transpiration in plants is to maintain water levels and regulate temperature.
Evolutionary Adaptations
- One adaptation that is not considered an evolutionary adaptation of plants to maintain water levels is sweating, which is a characteristic of animals.
Water Movement in Plants
- Apart from being the major photosynthetic organ, the xylem is crucial to water movement in plants.
