Difference Between Transpiration and Guttation?
Dear Student,
Here is the answer to your question,
Transpiration | Guttation |
Transpiration is the evaporation of water from plants. | It is the appearance of drops of xylem sap on the tips or edges of leaves of some vascular plants. |
There is the loss of water vapor from parts of plants. | The fluid may contain a variety of organic and inorganic compounds, mainly sugars, and mineral nutrients, and potassium. |
The rate of transpiration is directly related to the evaporation of water molecules from plant surface. | The root pressure forces some water to exude through special leaf tip or edge structures. |
hope this helps,
Chers!!
