Read the given statements: (A). Rate of lenticular transpiration is very high. (B). Lenticular transpiration contributes only 0.1 to 1 % of the total transpiration. The correct statement is / are

Step-by-step solution

Lenticular transpiration occurs through lenticels, which are small pores present in the bark of older stems and roots. The rate of lenticular transpiration is very low, not high. Thus, statement A is incorrect. Lenticular transpiration contributes a very small fraction, about 0.1 to 1 % , of the total transpiration in plants. Thus, statement B is correct. Answer: Statement A is incorrect but statement B is correct
