(N/A) No,different species of plants growing in the same area do not show the same rate of transpiration at a particular time.
Justification:
$1$. Transpiration is influenced by both external (environmental) and internal (plant-specific) factors.
$2$. Internal factors include the number and distribution of stomata,the percentage of open stomata,water status of the plant,and canopy structure.
$3$. Different species have different morphological and anatomical adaptations,such as the thickness of the cuticle,the presence of trichomes,or the depth of stomatal pits (e.g.,xerophytes vs. mesophytes).
$4$. Even if external factors like light intensity,temperature,humidity,and wind speed are identical for both plants,their physiological responses and structural traits lead to different rates of water loss.
