Transpiration and Leaf Resistance By: Bernina Berber Introduction Transpiration is a part of the water cycle process‚ and it is the loss of water vapor from parts of the plants. It is a process similar to evaporation. Evaporation and diffusion cause the plant tissue to have negative water potential. If you were to compare transpiration it would be like saying it is close to sweating (but in plants)‚ especially in leaves but also in stems‚ flowers and roots. Stomata are dots with openings on
