 What enters the guard cells that causes the stoma to open? ___________________________
 Opening of stoma also causes the plant to ___________________ through ___________________
 Stoma will _________ to reduce the loss of water through transpiration.

FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE

Factors Brief explanation
Temperature  The __________ the temperature, the ____________the rate of transpiration
 This is because water evaporates faster in high temperature.
Light intensity  The __________ the light intensity, the ___________ the rate of transpiration
 This is because sunlight stimulates stoma to open, so more water vapour is loss to
the environment
The movement of  The ___________ the movement of air, the _________ the rate of transpiration
air (Wind)  This is because wind blows water vapour away from the stoma.
Humidity  The ___________ the humidity, the ______________ the rate of transpiration.
 This is because when the air become less humid, it contains less water vapour.
Thus more water transpire from the leaves
Number of stomata  The _____________ number of stomata, the _________the rate of transpiration.
 This is because more water will evaporates if the leaves have more stoma.

EXUDATION (GUTTATION)

 Other than water loss from plants through transpiration, water is also lost
from plants through ________________________
 Exudation or guttation is the water loss from plants in ______________
through ______________ that are always open at the edges of the leaves.
