What is the process by which water travels along the cell wall during transpiration?
That's fascinating. I'm curious, how does the shape of a plant's leaves affect transpiration?
That's a great question! The shape of a plant's leaves can greatly affect its transpiration rate. For example, leaves with a lot of surface area will transpire more rapidly than those with less surface area. Additionally, plants with small or waxy leaves may be better adapted to arid environments, as they are able to conserve water more effectively.
