That is why the rate of transpiration will be fast. Figure 1: Transpiration vs humidity As the stomata are triggered to open in the light, the bright sunlight caused stomata to open allowing the entry of CO2 and the exit of O2 at which water primarily…

Phloem is also a tubular structure but it is responsible for the translocation of sugars from the leaves to the roots and other parts. The Xylem and Phloem run through the stems of the plants in vascular bundles called veins (BBC, 2014). Off the stems leaves grow, together they are called the shoot.
