Plant

Only 2% of water absorbed by plants is utilized, while nearly 98% is lost through transpiration. Transpiration occurs through stomata, small openings on the surfaces of leaves and stems. The rate of transpiration is regulated by several environmental factors like temperature, air movement, humidity, and light intensity. It is also regulated by the plant hormone abscisic acid and changes in turgor pressure and ion concentrations in guard cells that border the stomata.
