Answer

1. transpiration rate。 2. moisture

Explain

The question discusses a concept within the subject of biology known as "transpiration." Transpiration is the process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapour and is released to the atmosphere. This is largely a cooling mechanism. The part about "higher rate of transpiration" is about increased movement of water vapor out of the leaf due to increased air movement. As air movement increases, there certainly does tend to be a directly proportional relationship with transpiration rates because it prevents a high amount of humidity from settling over leaf surfaces, ensuring that a strong water vapor pressure gradient remains between the leaf interior and the external environment. The higher this gradient, the faster the diffusion of water vapor. Therefore, it increases the transpiration rate. The content about “more...is removed from the surfaces of the leaves.” is likely referring specifically to the removal of water (via evaporation or transpiration) from the surfaces of the leaves.
