Transpiration

Guttation

Transpiration is a mechanism that occurs in the leaves through the stomata and lenticels.

The process of guttation is carried out by hydathodes.

Water is lost as water vapour during this process.

Whereas in this case, water is lost exclusively as liquid water.

This procedure is only carried out during the day.

It occurs in the early morning or late at night.

When the temperature is high, this process occurs.

Low temperatures are conducive to this, therefore it only occurs in this circumstance.

The process of transpiration is greatly aided by dry conditions.

It is inhibited by dry conditions during guttation.

Wilting can occur when there is too much transpiration.

Wilting does not occur during the Guttation process.

Simple diffusion is responsible for the loss of water during transpiration.

Diffusion does not result in the loss of water that occurs during guttation.

When the weather gets hotter, the rate of transpiration slows down.

The process of guttation is made easier by the presence of dampness.

This technique does not involve the root pressure.

In the guttation process, root pressure is really crucial.

In this technique, only pure water evaporates.

Sugars, salts, and amino acids are all removed.

It can be found in a variety of plants, both terrestrial and herbaceous.

This only happens to herbaceous plants.
