Study Notes
Plant Essentials
- Transpiration is the loss of water from plants.
- Transpiration influences water uptake.
- Properties of water, like cohesion and adhesion, are vital for water transport.
- Other properties of water may also be involved in water loss/flow.
- Water is lost through stomata.
- Water flow is resisted in some parts of the plant.
- Possible sources of water loss include soil, leaves, other plant tissues, and the air.
- Transpiration is a key part of how plants take up water.
- Water resistance is discussed in terms of the plant's structures affecting it.
