Through which medium does the most transpiration take place in a plant?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a Root hair
  2. b Stoma
  3. c Cuticle
  4. d Lenticel
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: b Stoma

90-95% of total transpiration happens through stomata, so most takes place there.

Why the other options are wrong

  • a Root hair: The root hair absorbs water; it does not release vapour.
  • c Cuticle: Only a little water leaves through the cuticle.
  • d Lenticel: The lenticel's share is very small. The right choice is: Stoma.
