What is transpiration?

• a process in which plants lose water through the

  stomata in the leaf

• a process in which plants take in oxygen and

  expel carbon dioxide

• a process in which plants combine sunlight with

  water to manufacture food

• a process in which plants gain water through the

  leaf epidermis

A student must choose three items to demonstrate conduction, convection, and

radiation from solar energy. The student quickly chooses water and a metal bowl. Which of the following items should the student choose to

complete the experiment?

What is the purpose of this model?

• to show how severe weather forms in the water

  cycle

• to illustrate how water travels from Earth's

  surface into the atmosphere and back to Earth's

  surface again

• to show how Earth's water formed billions of

  years ago

• to illustrate how some water is lost on Earth as

  some of it never returns to Earth's surface once

  it evaporates
