Question
Differentiate Between Transpiration and Evaporation.
Solution
| Transpiration | Evaporation |
| Loss of water in the form of vapour from aerial parts of the plant. | Loss of water from the surface of the water bodies in the form of vapour. |
| It is vital and partly a physical process controlled by both internal and external factors. | It is a physical change controlled by the temperature and humidity of the atmosphere. |
| It is a slow process. | It is a fast process. |
