Transpiration — practice question

Fig. 1.1 shows a photograph of a plant. Fig. 1.2 shows a graph illustrating how temperature affects the rate of transpiration from the upper and lower leaf surfaces. Key: solid line - lower surface dashed line - upper surface Fig. 1.3 shows a diagram of the water cycle.
(a(i))[2]

Place two arrows on Fig. 1.1 to indicate the direction in which water moves into and out of the plant.

(a(ii))[1]

State the name of the tissue that carries water through a plant.

(b(i))[3]

Complete the definition of transpiration. Transpiration is the loss of water vapour from plant leaves by [BLANK] of water at the surfaces of [BLANK] cells, followed by diffusion of water vapour through the [BLANK].

(b(ii))[2]

State two conclusions drawn from the data in Fig. 1.2.

(c)[1]

State how increasing humidity affects the rate of transpiration.

(d)[2]

Identify the processes labelled X and Y in Fig. 1.3.
