(B). Lenticular transpiration contributes only 0.1 to 1 % of the total transpiration.
The correct statement is / are
(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
Options
- AStatement A is correct but statement B is incorrect
- BBoth statement A and B are incorrect
- CBoth Statement A and statement B are correct
- DStatement A is incorrect but statement B is correct
Correct answer
D. Statement A is incorrect but statement B is correct
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 to , of the total transpiration in plants. Thus, statement B is correct.
Answer: Statement A is incorrect but statement B is correct
Lenticular transpiration contributes a very small fraction, about to , of the total transpiration in plants. Thus, statement B is correct.
Answer: Statement A is incorrect but statement B is correct
