Transpiration is the process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere. Transpiration is essentially evaporation of water from plant leaves. Transpiration also includes a process called guttation, which is the loss of water in liquid form from the uninjured leaf or stem of the plant, principally through water stomata.
Studies have revealed that about 10 percent of the moisture found in the atmosphere is released by plants through transpiration. The remaining 90 percent is mainly supplied by evaporation from oceans, seas, and other bodies of water (lakes, rivers, streams).
Transpiration and plant leaves
Plants put down roots into the soil to draw water and nutrients up into the stems and leaves. Some of this water is returned to the air by transpiration (when combined with evaporation, the total process is known as evapotranspiration). Transpiration rates vary widely depending on weather conditions, such as temperature, humidity, sunlight availability and intensity, precipitation, soil type and saturation, wind, land slope, and water use and diversion by people. During dry periods, transpiration can contribute to the loss of moisture in the upper soil zone, which can have an effect on vegetation and food-crop fields.

Answer:
<u>Option-</u> "If a flock’s beak type made it easier to pick up the available food, the flock grew."
Explanation:
- We can simplify the whole answer by having argument about the structure or alignment of the birds in a given way which provides more food sources or options for the 1st generation and then the third generation can be found in a more scattered form inside the herd, as there are no more food requirement as much was before.
The correct option is D.
The gasoline fuel used inside the car has inherent potential energy in its molecules. When the car is started, this potential energy will be converted to heat energy. The heat energy will then be used to carry out mechanical works in the engine of the car, this makes the car to move forward. At the point of moving, the energy in the car has been transformed to kinetic energy, which is energy in motion.
