Answer
Four advantages of transpiration to the plants are:
- It has a cooling effect on leaf surface. This cooling effect helps the plant withstand the heat. Intense heat can destroy the enzymes.
- It maintains the suction force due to transpirational pull and thus maintains ascent of sap.
- Regular ascent of sap results in proper absorption and distribution of water and minerals.
- Transpiration also maintains the turgidity of plant cells.
