Transport of Gases- Stoma http://yteach.com/index.php/resources/camb ium_cuticle_cutin_meristem_mitosis_protopl ast_systematics_transpiration_t_page_21.ht ml
5
Stoma also affect water conservation/loss
6
This is the evaporation of water from plants. Water is lost from a plant in the process of transpiration.
7
Transpiration Water is lost from three main areas of a plant: Stomata – in the leaves, account for about 90% of water loss Cuticle – the waxy layer, some water is lost through diffusion Lenticles – woody stems have loosely packed cork cells through which gas exchange occurs – a little water is lost here
8
Transpiration Water moves through the plant from roots to leaves and is lost to the air as water vapour. This is known as the transpiration stream. About 98% of water entering a plant is lost to the air through transpiration Remaining 2% is used for photosynthesis

roots stem Water enters roots by osmosis
12
roots stem Water enters roots by osmosis Water and ions pass up xylem

Factors Affecting Transpiration Rates http://www.sciencemag.org/site/feature/misc /webfeat/vis2005/show/transpiration.swf
28
Transpiration Deforestation decreases the rate of transpiration due to the large-scale removal of forest which normally add water vapour to the air This can have a serious effect upon the water cycle
