Okay, for plants to gain energy they break down sunlight through their cells in the way that is called photosynthesis. However, to do this, cells must keep their leaves open and faced towards the sunlight. Transpiration is like us sweating: we loose water in the process to cool down. The heat, air pressure, and solar radiation contribute to this. Because plants need energy, they have to open up and allow transpiration to happen. While they loose water, they gain energy. They just soak up more water from the ground. That is another reason why, if it is in a drought, that plants wither and die. They not only don't have enough water to keep themselves "fed" but the air is soaking up water when they gain energy.

Why is Transpiration essential to photosynthesis?
Because it is....Do you have a problem
What does transpiration do?
Transpiration is the process where plants carry water from the roots to the rest of the plant,including the leaf, to be used in photosynthesis.
What characterizes the rates of photosynthesis and transport in a plant on a dry cloudy day?
Both the photosynthesis and transpiration rates are low.
What leaf structure is related to both photosynthesis and transpiration?
The stomata are structures on a leaf that relate to both photosynthesis and transpiration. The stomata facilitate gas exchange so the carbon dioxide can enter and the oxygen can leave. However, water vapor can also leave through a process called transpiration.
What is the process which trees remove water from soil and release it through the leaves?
Transpiration
What causes evaporation sun and photosynthesis or sun and transpiration?
sun and transpiration
What is the loss of water through a plant's leaves is called?
Evaporation of water through the plant's leaves is called transpiration.
Why is Transpiration essential to photosynthesis?
Because it is....Do you have a problem
What is the leaf job?
Photosynthesis, gaseous exchange and transpiration
What reaction happen in stoma?
photosynthesis and vegetable transpiration.
What do the leaves do to a tree?
Gaseous exchange, transpiration and photosynthesis
How is transpiration different from photosynthesis?
Transpiration is loosing water in vapor form.Photosynthetis makes glucose using CO2
Where does transpiration?
Transpiration is when water evaporates from plants. It occurs chiefly in the leaves while their stomata are open during photosynthesis.
What does transpiration do?
Transpiration is the process where plants carry water from the roots to the rest of the plant,including the leaf, to be used in photosynthesis.
Why do plants waste water in transpiration?
Transpiration is the price the plant pays for photosynthesis. The leaves need to have pores (stomata) in order for gas exchange to take place, carbon dioxide comes in and oxygen goes out. Unfortunately that means that water escapes.
What function do the leaves perform?
Photosynthesis, gaseous exchange and transpiration etc.
What characterizes the rates of photosynthesis and transport in a plant on a dry cloudy day?
Both the photosynthesis and transpiration rates are low.
