Question

Most of the water a vascular plant takes in ______. Goes back into the soil Evaporates in the process of transpiration Is used to perform photosynthesis and other life processes

Answer 1

Answer:

EVAPORATES IN THE PROCESS OF TRANSPIRATION

Explanation:

Plants takes in water from the soul via it's root system. Small amount of the water are used for growth and metabolism of the plants. Some are used in the process of photosynthesis. The bulk of the remaining are lost through transpiration. This takes place in the stomata of the plants. The stomata are numerous on the leaf surfaces and are guarded by cells which allow for opening and closing of the stomata. Transpiration helps the plants to remove CO2 produced by photosynthesis, cools the plant and also changes osmotic pressure of the plant which allows for the flow of nutrients and water from the root to the leaves, flowers, fruits.
