2.54 Transpiration


                heat
Liquid    -------->     Gas
              sunlight


-Evaporation happens through the stomatal pores


-Not all of the light is absorbed by the chloroplast, some will be absorbed by the other cell structure and generates heat


-The water is brought in by the xylem


-Just above the stomatal pores is where the liquid changes into a gas


-Gas diffuses through the stomatal pores (by steep diffusion gradient)
