Solution to the Transpiration Worksheet
The diagram illustrates the process of
transpiration in a plant, showing how water moves from the soil through the plant and is eventually released into the atmosphere. There are three key stages shown, and you need to label the three yellow boxes using the given options:
---
####
Given Options:
1.
Roots absorb water and nutrients that move upward
2.
Water and nutrients move through out plants
3.
Water is released through stomata of leaves as water vapour
---
Step-by-Step Analysis of the Diagram:
1.
Bottom Box (Roots in Soil):
- The arrows show water moving
into the roots from the soil.
- This corresponds to the
absorption of water and nutrients by the roots.
-
✔ Correct Label: *Roots absorb water and nutrients that move upward*
2.
Middle Box (Stem/Trunk):
- The arrows show water moving
upward through the stem from the roots to the leaves.
- This represents the
transport of water and nutrients through the plant.
-
✔ Correct Label: *Water and Nutrients moves through out plants*
3.
Top Box (Leaves):
- The red arrows point
outward from the leaves, indicating water vapor escaping.
- This is the
release of water vapor through the stomata in the leaves.
-
✔ Correct Label: *Water is released through stomata of leaves as water vapour*
---
✔ Final Answer – Labeled Diagram:
-
Bottom Box (Roots):
→ *Roots absorb water and nutrients that move upward*
-
Middle Box (Stem):
→ *Water and Nutrients moves through out plants*
-
Top Box (Leaves):
→ *Water is released through stomata of leaves as water vapour*

🌱 Explanation of Transpiration:
Transpiration is the process by which water is absorbed by the roots, transported up the plant via the xylem, and then evaporated from the leaf surfaces (mainly through stomata). This movement helps in:
- Transporting water and dissolved minerals
- Cooling the plant
- Maintaining turgor pressure
This cycle is driven by evaporation and cohesion-tension forces.
