The question is what factors affect transpiration? The environmental factors that affect the rate of transpiration are light, temperature, humidity, wind and soil water (Sadava, 2010). In lab 3b, all of the plants in this experiment will lose a lot of water through transpiration, but those affected by the light and the fan will lose a larger amount of water. Then the hypothesis can be factors that increase evaporation will increase transpiration. Plants transpire actively in the light than in the dark, lights also speeds up transpiration by warming the leaf. ranspiration is the loss of water from a plant. Plants transpire water out of the stomata in their leaves at a different rate in every environment. The amount of transpiration is affected by the environment, how developed the plant is to not lose as much water, the surface area of the leaves, and how affected the plant is by its environment (Von Bargen). For this experiment, the plant we used was (Viola tricolor subsp. Hortensis), or pansies.

    In a flowering plant, the water travels from the soil, then to the root hairs, next to the xylem, then into the stomata, to the mesophyll cells, next to the stoma, then finally into the atmosphere. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through semipermeable membranes. Transpiration is the evaporation of water from the leaf. Cohesion is when water molecules stick together. Adhesion is when water molecules stick to, not attract. Root pressure is force made by root on water columns. Water potential is the negative pressure in leaves, which is positive in roots.…

    Transpiration is the loss of water vapor from land plants into the atmosphere, causing movement of water through the plant from the soil to the atmosphere via roots, shoot and leaves, which occurs mainly through the stomata. Factors which can affect the rate of transpiration are those such as temperature, humidity, wind, and light, and the water in the soil. A plant cannot continue to transpire rapidly if its water loss is not made up by replacement from the soil. When absorption of water by the roots fails to keep up with the rate of transpiration, loss of turgor occurs, and the stomata close. This immediately reduces the rate of transpiration (as well as of photosynthesis). If the loss of turgor extends to the rest of the leaf and stem, the plant wilts. To measure transpiration, you can artificially create the environment for a plant for which you want to transpire. For example, if you have a .1 mL pipette, plastic tubing and a leaf, you have almost all the materials you need to measure the rate of transpiration for that leaf and whatever environmental conditions you impose upon the leaf. One will be examining the amount of water in the tubing which is being used, and from there you can tell how much water has been used.…

    HYPOTHESIS: I predict that the rate of oxygen produced increases, as the light intensity increases, but only to a point. I predict this will happen because the plant will have enough carbon dioxide and water to keep up with the amount of light that there is. When there is less light intensity, photosynthesis will happen at a slower rate because gradually there will not be enough sunlight as there is carbon dioxide and water.…

    The objective of this investigation was to determine the effect of one specific environmental condition on the rate of transpiration in plants. This particular investigation looked at the number of leaves in a plant and how it would affect the rate of transpiration in plants. The aim of this investigation was to find out if the larger the number of leaves a plant had, the higher the rate of transpiration would be.…

    Photosynthesis is affected by light intensity, water, and temperature. Plants grow more abundantly because the weather is warm. Carbon Dioxide given off by animals is consumed by plants that replace the oxygen animals take it. Experimentation will help understanding how plants are vital because of the oxygen they release. If leaf disks in the experiment release oxygen, they will undergo photosynthesis and float. If there is no temperature buffer of water, the higher temperature will cause more leaf disks to float at a faster rate. (Experiment Central)…

    b. The increasing humidity causes reduced transpiration rates. This is because atmosphere is saturated with water vapor and so not much can be absorbed by the plant as humidity increases. At 100 percent humidity, the plant cannot absorb any more water. In a dryer atmosphere (less humidity), transpiration will happen much more rapidly.…

    Our class data showed that the transpiration pull was the second highest in humidity and in the dark. This data is incorrect, in this given condition because in plants, transpiration is controlled by water potential. This change in water potential in leaves causes a gradient by which water can be moved upward. When the water potential of the air was increased by the humidifier and plastic covering, less water evaporated from the leaves, decreasing the water potential gradient between the root and stem, in turn decreasing the transpiration pull. These conditions should have shown little or no transpiring.…
