Definitions:

Terrestrial Plants

Plants that grow on land rather than in water or air, typically exhibiting adaptations like roots for water absorption and leaves for photosynthesis.

Transpiration

A mechanism where water is transported from the roots up to minuscule holes beneath the leaves in plants, converting into vapor before being discharged into the atmosphere.

Earth's Atmosphere

The layer of gases surrounding Earth, retained by Earth's gravity, which protects life by absorbing ultraviolet solar radiation, warming the surface through heat retention, and reducing temperature extremes between day and night.

Nitrogen

Nitrogen is a chemical element with the symbol N and atomic number 7; it is a colorless, odorless gas that is a fundamental part of amino acids and nucleic acids, essential for life.
