Question 44 NECO_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2017 • BIOLOGY • objective

In a plant, leaf temperature is 30 °C (saturation vapour pressure = 4.24 kPa) while ambient air temperature is 20 °C (saturation vapour pressure = 2.34 kPa) and the actual vapour pressure of the air is 1.5 kPa. The stomatal conductance is 0.20 mol m⁻² s⁻¹ and the leaf area is 0.05 m². Using the relation \(E = g_s \times VPD \times A\), where \(VPD\) is the vapour‑pressure deficit, calculate the transpiration rate in mol min⁻¹.

Answer Options

A. 1.14 mol min⁻¹
B. 0.027 mol min⁻¹
Correct Answer C. 1.64 mol min⁻¹
D. 3.28 mol min⁻¹
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
1.64 mol min⁻¹
