प्रश्न
What is lenticular transpiration? Mention one major difference between lenticular transpiration and stomatal transpiration.
उत्तर
Transpiration occurring through lenticels i.e. minute openings on the surface of old stems is called lenticular transpiration.
Stomatal transpiration is controlled by the plant by altering the size of the stoma, where as this does not happen in case of lenticular transpiration. This is because the lenticels never close, but remain open all the time.
The amount of stomatal transpiration is much more than the amount of lenticular transpiration.

Which of the following statements are true and which ones are false? Give reason in support of your answer.
Forest contribute in bringing rains.
The apparatus shown here is Ganong's photometer designed to demonstrate unequal transpiration from the two surfaces of a dorsiventral leaf. Before keeping the leaf in between the cups, anhydrous calcium chloride (CaCl2) contained in two small vials were weighted and placed in both the cups. The ends of the cups were weighted and with corks through which two mercury manometers were connected. After a few hours, CaCl2 vials were taken out and weighed again.
(i) What is the purpose of keeping CaCl2 vials inside the cup?
(ii) After a few hours, CaCl2 vials were taken out and weighed again.
will you except any difference in weight? If so, give reasons.
(iii) What was expect the purpose of using a manometer?
