10 Transpiration, transport and support in plants Common misconception Common misconception Water moves out of the leaf by osmosis down the water potential gradient. 36 Water vapour moves out of the leaf by diffusion down the concentration gradient . Water losses to the atmosphere by evaporation. Water losses to the atmosphere by transpiration .
