This question asks, water evaporation from plant parts is called which of the following? our answer choices are translocation, respiration, transpiration, and tension.
00:13
So let's start off with translocation.
00:15
Translocation basically refers to a movement of a particular substance.
00:22
So we could say that there's going to be translocation of water, and there is also translocation of sugar in plants.
00:29
Because we know that we have water which will translocate we have xylem which translocates water and then we have phloem which will translocate our sugars throughout the plant but this is not going to refer to the water evaporation part so translocation refers to movement of water but it does not refer to water evaporation so choice a would be incorrect then respiration is going to be the process of converting glucose to atp to energy.
01:04
That way we can use energy and then we release different molecules and waste products as a byproduct of this respiration, but this will not necessarily refer to water evaporation from the plant.
01:16
Now, of course, some water might evaporate due to our respiration, but the actual evaporation has its own name...
