Advantages and Disadvantages of Transpiration | Plants Physiology

In this article we will discuss about the advantages and disadvantages of transpiration. Advantages of Transpiration: 1. Ascent of Sap: Ascent of sap mostly occurs due to transpiration pull exerted by transpiration of water. This pull also helps in absorption of water. 2. Removal of Excess Water: It has been held that plants absorb far more amount of water than [...]
