Verified step by step guidance

Begin by understanding the key processes involved in plant physiology: transpiration, condensation, respiration, and photosynthesis.
Transpiration is the process where water is absorbed by plant roots from the soil, moves through plants, and is released as water vapor through small openings in leaves called stomata.
Condensation is the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water, typically forming clouds or dew, and is not directly related to the evaporation of water from plant leaves.
Respiration in plants involves the exchange of gases, where oxygen is consumed and carbon dioxide is released, primarily for energy production, and does not involve the evaporation of water.
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, and while it involves water, it is not the process of water evaporation from leaves.
