Question
Other than stomatal aperture state and explain any two other structural features that affect transpiration rates in plants.
Answer
- Leaf shape and size; large leaves have a large surface area over which transpiration occurs / small leaves have a smaller surface area over which transpiration occurs.
- Thick waxy cuticle; almost water proof; reducescuticular transpiration
- Sunken stomata; accumulates moisture; lowering transpiration rate
- Epidermal hairs; trap a layer of moisture which lowers evaporation rate.
