Transpiration is sometimes called a necessary cost of having leaves. Which benefits does it actually bring the plant? Select all that apply.

Explanation

Water leaving the leaves keeps the column in the water-carrying tissue on the move, which draws up both the water itself and the minerals dissolved in it, and evaporation removes heat from the leaf as it happens. Moving sugar is the job of the other transport tissue, and the gas a leaf needs diffuses in through the pores under its own concentration difference rather than being pushed in by the arriving water.
