Step 1
Answer
To determine the conditions under which transpiration occurs fastest, we need to consider the environmental factors that affect this process.
Temperature: Transpiration rates increase with higher temperatures. Warm temperatures provide more energy for water to evaporate from the leaf surfaces.
Wind: Wind facilitates the removal of water vapor surrounding the leaf. This increases the gradient for diffusion, allowing more water to escape from the leaf, promoting faster transpiration.
Light: While light intensity can also affect rate of transpiration through opening of stomata, the factors of warmth and wind are more critical for increasing the rate.
From the options presented:
Thus, the correct answer is D: A warm and windy environment.
