Transpiration
Prepared for: Dr. Chuks Ogbonnaya
By: Deborah A. Smith February 27, 1990
Introduction
Transpiration is the evaporation of water particles from plant surfaces, especially from the surface openings, or stomates, on leaves. Stomatal transpiration accounts for most of the water loss by a plant, but some direct evaporation also takes place through the surfaces of the epidermal cells of the leaves.
The amount of water given off depends somewhat upon how much water the roots of the plant have absorbed. It also depends upon such environmental conditions as sunlight, humidity, winds and temperature. A plant should not be transplanted in full sunshine because it may lose too much water and wilt before the damaged roots can supply enough water.
Transpiration occurs as the sun warms the water inside the blade. The warming changes much of the water into water vapor. This gas can then escape through the stomata. Transpiration helps cool the inside of the leaf because the escaping vapor has absorbed heat.
Materials and Methods
The 1000 milliliter flask fitted with a three hole rubber stopper, separatory funnel and a measuring pipet. First, fill Erlenmeyer flask with 250 milliliters of distilled water. Put the glass tube with a right angle bend into one hole of the three hole stopper. Place stopper in flask making sure no air bubbles are trapped.
Take a plant shoot and cut in the sink under running water. Remove the shoot from water and place the stem through the hole in the stopper and allow one inch of the stem to go into the water in the flask. Place a separate funnel in third hole and fill with water to the upper mark. Coat all joints will sealant and record the position of the meniscus at two minute intervals for 30 minutes.
Move the apparatus to the fume hood and measure every two minutes for 30 minutes.
Place a plastic bag over the leafy part of the shoot and

    Water molecules are present in the air as water vapor, they are never as abundant in the air as they are in the leaf. Thus, the plant loses water as it diffuses into the air through the stomates. This water loss is known as transpiration.…

    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.…

    The cell is able to regulate the movement of CO2, H2O, and water vapor in and out of the leaf because of the stomata. A stoma is what has the guard cells, and those are responsible for adjusting the opening and closing in the gaps between them. These are the only cells that contain chloroplasts, and can carry out photosynthesis that is “the process that converts energy from the sun into chemical energy” (Preszler et al, 2014). The plant therefore benefits from the movement of these molecules by controlling the reservation of its moisture.…

    Transpiration is the evaporation or loss of water through the pores (stomata) on the underside of leaves. Transpiration is vital to plants because it not only allows the plant to cool itself, but it also changes the osmotic pressure of cells allowing for nutrient transfer between cells, and between roots and stem.…

    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.…

    Carbon dioxide also influences plant growth through water intake and loss. To receive carbon dioxide a plant must open its stomata to allow diffusion of the gas into its leaves. However when a plant does this it also results in loss of water, as water vapour diffusing out of the leaves. Lost water however is drawn up through the xylem through a process called transpiration. Water is able to move in opposition to gravity due to the negative pressure of the vessels, and the cohesion-tension property of water, which allows water molecules to “stick together” and influence the movement of another water molecule. If it is a sunny day, and the carbon dioxide…
