List out the differences between Guttation and Transpiration in plants?
Solution:
| 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 vapour 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. |
| It takes place through the stomata and lenticels. | Guttation takes place through hydathodes. |
