Answer: There is direct relationship between temperature and transpiration.
How temperature affects transpiration rate?
Temperature plays an important role in the rate of transpiration. As the temperature increases, transpiration will increase due to warm air that change the state of water from liquid to gaseous state.
Potetometer is an Instrument that is used for measuring the Transpiration of water in plants.
So we can conclude that there is direct relationship between temperature and transpiration.
