Which is not the function of transpiration?

Options

(a) cool leaf surface
(b) Maintains shape and structure of plant
(c) Help in translocation of sugars from source to sink
(d) provide water for photosynthesis

Correct Answer:

Help in translocation of sugars from source to sink

Explanation:

Transpiration plays an important role in the cooling effect by evaporating water, turgidity, which maintains the shape and structure of the plant, supplies water for photosynthesis, helps in absorption of water and mineral salts. But translocation of organic food like sugar from source to sink is not facilitated by transpiration.
