Higher light intensity increases transpiration rate as stomata open for photosynthesis, allowing more water vapor to escape.
Como a intensidade da luz afeta a taxa de transpiração? Quanto mais brilhante for, maior será a taxa de transpiração. Os estômatos fecham quando está escuro porque não precisam deixar entrar CO₂. Quando estão fechados, pouca água pode escapar.

|---|---|
| Back | The brighter it is, the greater the transpiration rate. Stomata close when it is dark because they don't need to let in CO2. When they are closed, little water can escape. |
