Answer 1

Answer: 3,000 to 4,000 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Evapotranspiration causes a huge amount of water loss in plants. It happens when water leaves a plant as water vapor through its leaf surfaces after which the water joins the Hydrologic/ water cycle.

In the case of corn, it is said that an acre of corn is capable of transpiring between 3,000 to 4,000 gallons of water each day.
