Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy, using water and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen.
Recognize that during photosynthesis, water is absorbed by the roots and transported to the leaves through the plant's vascular system.
Identify that the movement of water from the leaves into the atmosphere is a separate process from photosynthesis, known as transpiration.
Transpiration involves the evaporation of water from plant leaves, primarily through small openings called stomata.
This process helps in the regulation of temperature and water balance in plants, and it also facilitates the upward movement of water and nutrients from the roots.
