In what two ways does sunlight increase the rate of transpiratio​
Black_prince [1.1K]
Plants transpire more rapidly in the light than in the dark. This is largely because light stimulates the opening of the stomata (mechanism). Light also speeds up transpiration by warming the leaf. Plants transpire more rapidly at higher temperatures because water evaporates more rapidly. As the temperature increases, transpiration will increase due to a higher concentration in sunlight and warm air. However, if temperatures remain high for long periods of time eventually leading to drought, transpiration may go down to conserve water in the plant.

The sarcomere shortens when the myosin heads of the thick filaments, in a cocked position, form cross bridges with the actin mol
Artyom0805 [142]

Here are the steps;

step 1. The activated myosin head binds to actin, forming a cross bridge.

Step 2. ADP is released and myosin slides the thin filament toward the center of the sarcomere.

step 3. ATP binds to the myosin head and detaches it from actin

step 4. ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP and P(i) and the energy released re-elevates the myosin head.

Would you expect the stomata of a desert cactus or the stomata of a water lily plant to close during the day?
BartSMP [9]
A water lily will have more stomata. A desert cactus will have very few stomata, because in deserts plants face water shortage so in order to avoid loss of water cacti have adapted to the desert environment by possessing few stomata.
