What's the difference between transpiration and uptake?

Transpiration


Definition:

  • (n.) The act or process of transpiring or excreting in the form of vapor; exhalation, as through the skin or other membranes of the body; as, pulmonary transpiration, or the excretion of aqueous vapor from the lungs. Perspiration is a form of transpiration.
  • (n.) The evaporation of water, or exhalation of aqueous vapor, from cells and masses of tissue.
  • (n.) The passing of gases through fine tubes, porous substances, or the like; as, transpiration through membranes.

Uptake


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To take into the hand; to take up; to help.
  • (n.) The pipe leading upward from the smoke box of a steam boiler to the chimney, or smokestack; a flue leading upward.

Example Sentences:

  • (4) Omission of K(+), Ca(++) or Mg(++) had no effect on uptake.
  • (5) Because cystine in medium was converted rapidly to cysteine and cysteinyl-NAC in the presence of NAC and given that cysteine has a higher affinity for uptake by EC than cystine, we conclude that the enhanced uptake of radioactivity was in the form of cysteine and at least part of the stimulatory effect of NAC on EC glutathione was due to a formation of cysteine by a mixed disulfide reaction of NAC with cystine similar to that previously reported for Chinese hamster ovarian cells (R. D. Issels et al.
  • (6) Manometric studies with resting cells obtained by growth on each of these sulfur sources yielded net oxygen uptake for all substrates except sulfite and dithionate.
