Organisms play a role in recycling water from one form to another in the water cycle. Which of the following processes associated with the water cycle occurs only in plants?

Question

A.
elimination
B.
water intake
C.
transpiration
D.
respiration

Answer 1

The process associated with the water cycle that occurs only in plants is C. transpiration. Transpiration is the process by which water is absorbed by plant roots, moves through plants, and is released as water vapor through small openings called stomata in the leaves. While other processes such as water intake and respiration can occur in both plants and other organisms, transpiration is specific to plants.
