Question

Water that except ______ and not is absorbed by plant. 
 

• A. transpired.
• B. evaporated.
• C. absorbed.
• D. diffused.

Hint:

Remember that transpiration refers to the water vapor released from plants into the atmosphere, and it is essential for the plant’s water cycle but does not contribute to the plant’s absorption of water.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The correct word to fill in the blank is "transpired". Transpiration is the process by which water is lost from a plant through evaporation from the plant's leaves, primarily through stomata. 
Water that is transpired is lost into the atmosphere and is not absorbed by the plant.
 - "Evaporated" could also be associated with water loss but typically refers to the transition of water from a liquid to a gas. 
- "Absorbed" and "diffused" both suggest processes where water is taken in by the plant, which contradicts the context of the sentence. 

Thus, the correct answer is option (A), as it refers specifically to water lost and not absorbed by the plant.
