- - - - Wind blows away water vapour that accumulates outside the stomata which increases water vapour concentration gradient between the leaf and atmosphere leading to a faster rate of diffusion of water vapour
    - - An increase of temperature increases the rate of evaporation.
    - - The drier the air outside the leaf, the steeper the water vapour concentration gradient between the leaf and atmosphere leading to the rate of diffusion of water vapour being faster and vice versa.
    - - Light affects the size of stomata. In sunlight, the stomata is open and wider and in darkness, the stomata is closed
  - - - In strong sunlight, when the rate of transpiration exceeds the rate of absorption of water by the roots, the cells lose their turgor and become flaccid.
    - - When the leaf folds up, the surface area that is exposed to sunlight decreases causing the guard cells to become flaccid and the stomata to close, decreasing the rate of transpiration
    - - The rate of photosynthesis reduced as both water and carbon dioxide become limiting factors. Reduced surface area exposed to sunlight also decreases the rate of photosynthesis.
- - - - This helps to store water for use, found in Bromeliads, a tropical plant
    - - Plants in the desert have to reduce their loss of water as water is already scarce in the desert to begin with. Hence, having spines, they prevent animals from eating it for water.
- - - - This helps to prevent the transfer of manufactured food (sucrose and amino acids) to the lower parts of the plants from the leaves, helping to control plant size and increase increase fruiting.
  - - - Effect on plant: It causes curled or yellowed leaves, deformed flowers, or damaged fruit
