Differences between Transpiration and Evaporation
Differences between Transpiration and Evaporation (Comparison between Transpiration and Evaporation)
Transpiration | Evaporation |
1. It is a physiological process occurring in plants | It is a physical process occurring from any free surface |
2. It involves living tissues | It may involve both living and non-living surfaces |
3. It is controlled by environmental factors as well as by plant factors such as osmotic pressure of the cells, thickness of cuticle, number and position of stomata etc. | It is influenced only by environmental factors. |
4. It provides the surface of leaves and young stem wet and protect them from sun burning. | It causes dryness of free surface. |
5. It is comparatively a slow process. | It is comparatively a faster process. |
