The water, warmed by the sun, turns into vapor (evaporates), and passes out through thousands of tiny pores (stomata) mostly on the underside of the leaf surface. This is transpiration. It has two main functions: cooling the plant and pumping water and minerals to the leaves for photosynthesis.
1. The sun
2. Chemical energy
3. Photosynthesis
4. Store
5. release
6. Cellular respiration?
Last one I'm not 100% sure.
One of the major problems of monoculture farming is the variety of species. If there are no varieties in the producer level in the food chain all other organisms within the ecosystem would be affected.
