Question

Which of the following accurately describes the correct order of events in the process of transpiration within a plant?

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Water enters the roots, gets transported through the stem, and evaporates through the leaves

Explanation:

The process of transpiration within the plants has multiple steps. In order to get to the water, the plants use their roots, thus they manage to get it from the soil. From the roots, the water is then transported to the stem, and through the stem is transported throughout all of the plant, most importantly to the leaves. Once the water has been used, and the temperature is high enough, it evaporates through the pores of the leaves. This is part of the water cycle, and it is a very nice example of the interaction between four spheres, the hydrosphere, geosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere.
