Question

So I was working under this tree and it was a no clouds to be seen kind of day. But water was dripping off of the tree. It was late noon so I know it wasn’t due. The tree was like literally sweating. I know that the byproduct of photosynthesis is water and oxygen but can you explain to me exactly why the tree was dripping water? Here is a picture of the type of tree.

Answer 1

Just because water is a biproduct of photosynthesis it doesn't mean it's going to start dripping from the plant. The chances of it just being moist are high since it's noon and there is a higher moist concentration during the afternoons/evening/night.


Hope it helped!
