Transpiration is the process of moving water through the cells using

emission of carbon dioxide through respiration which usually works in
the favour of other living things. Likewise the balance between oxygen
created by photosynthesis and that used by respiration. That balance is
dependent on the difference between light and dark and the difference
between daytime and night time temperatures.

That was an example of a little knowledge, and a total inablity to think
quantitively, being a dangerous thing.


So nothing new there, then.
