2.54 Transportation

  • For water to turn into gas it requires heat. 
  • Heat is supplied by sunlight as it is absorbed by the plant structure. 
  • Evaporation happens through the stomatal pore. 
  • Water is delivered into the leaf by the xylem. 
  • Water vapor diffuses down the diffusion gradient and through the stomatole pore.
