All the following are purposes served by transpiration in plants except:
1. It creates transpiration pull for absorption and transport in plants.
2. It supplies water for photosynthesis.
3. It warms leaf surfaces to activate enzymes for carbon fixation.
4. It maintains the shape and structure of the plants by keeping cells turgid.

2. is equally efficient and loses only half as much water for the same amount of carbon dioxide fixed.
3. is twice as efficient and loses same amount of water for the same amount of carbon dioxide fixed.
4. is equally efficient and loses same amount of water for the same amount of carbon dioxide fixed.
