Question
the water cycle collects, purifies, and distributes the earths fixed supply of water. which water cycle process directly causes living organisms to lose water? choose 1 answer: a transpiration b infiltration c precipitation d sublimation
Transpiration is the process by which plants (living organisms) release water vapor into the atmosphere through their leaves. Infiltration is water seeping into the soil, precipitation is water falling from the atmosphere, and sublimation is the change from solid to gas without passing through the liquid state. None of these directly cause living organisms to lose water like transpiration does.
