What is it called when plants loose water from their leaves?
perspiration
What do plants do in the process of transpiration?
Transpiration is the process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere. Transpiration is essentially evaporation of water from plant leaves. Transpiration also includes a process called guttation, which is the loss of water in liquid form from the uninjured leaf or stem of the plant, principally through water stomata.
Why transpiration is a price paid for photosynthesis?
Okay, for plants to gain energy they break down sunlight through their cells in the way that is called photosynthesis. However, to do this, cells must keep their leaves open and faced towards the sunlight. Transpiration is like us sweating: we loose water in the process to cool down. The heat, air pressure, and solar radiation contribute to this. Because plants need energy, they have to open up and allow transpiration to happen. While they loose water, they gain energy. They just soak up more water from the ground. That is another reason why, if it is in a drought, that plants wither and die. They not only don't have enough water to keep themselves "fed" but the air is soaking up water when they gain energy.
How do plants loose energy?
they blem with da hood
How are plants adapted to sand dune environment?
Plants in sand dune environments often have deep roots to anchor them in loose sand and access water underground. They may also have waxy or hairy leaves to reduce water loss through transpiration and protect against wind and salt spray. Some plants have specialized mechanisms to survive in nutrient-poor soils, such as nitrogen-fixing bacteria in their root nodules.
Do plants loose water?
Evaporation through the leaves.
What is it called when plants loose water from their leaves?
perspiration
Does plants lose excess water through the roots?
Most of the plants loose excess waters through the stem or their leaves
What material from leaves makes soil fertile?
as plants shed leaves they form a loose layer called litter kind of answering it ?
Why do plants loose more water than it is absorbing from the soil?
Plants loose more water than they absorb from the soil due to a process called transpiration. is the evaporation of water into the atmosphere from the leaves and stems of plants. Plants absorb water through their roots and this water can originate from deep in the soil. (For example, corn plants have roots that are 2.5 meters deep, while some desert plants have roots that extend 20 meters into the ground). Plants pump the water up from the soil to deliver nutrients to their leaves. This pumping is driven by the evaporation of water through small pores called stomates, which are found on the undersides of leaves. Transpiration accounts for approximately 10% of all evaporating water.Read more: Why_do_plants_loose_more_water_than_it_is_absorbing_from_the_soil
Why do deciduous plants loose their leaves in autumn?
To regain their growth thereafter
What are trees that have flat leaves and loose them in autum called?
The name is deciduous, shedding their leaves annually.
What are tree that lose their leaves?
All trees loose their leaves. Some do so a little at a time and are called "evergreen trees." Other trees loose their leaves all at once, usually in the autumn,, so the loss is very noticeable. These are called deciduous trees.
Why do deciduous leaves loose their leaves?
Leaves can not loose leaves. Your question is meaningless. Look in the related question below.
What is living in the deciduous forest?
everything deciduous only means it is composed mainly of trees that loose their leaves annually as opposed to trees in colder regions called evergreens that do not loose their leaves

Do plants lose water to the air through their roots?
Not really. The roots take in water, which passes up through the plant, carrying nourishment as it goes. Any excess water leaves through the leaves! On the other hand, if the roots are exposed and are still white, (as opposed to the dark brown barked roots that trees often have) they can loose lots of water. It's best to keep them covered.
