Show SolutionHide Solution↓
Two advantages of transpiration are:
- Cooling effect — Transpiration helps regulate plant temperature by releasing water vapour through stomata, which cools the plant and its immediate surroundings.
- Transport of nutrients — Transpiration creates a negative pressure gradient in the xylem, facilitating the movement of water and minerals from the roots to the shoots and leaves of the plant.
