TRANSPIRATION: Investigation 11 Learning Objectives: To investigate the relationship among leaf surface area‚ number of stomata‚ and the rate of transpiration To design and conduct an experiment to explore other factors‚ including different environmental variables‚ on the rate of transpiration To investigate the relationship between the structure of vascular tissues (xylem and phloem) and their functions in transporting water and nutrients in plants Before doing this laboratory you should understand:

Transpiration Formal Lab Report By Jessica Tran Introduction When water is transported from the roots to the mesophyll cells in the leaves‚ it is evaporates out the stomates‚ called transpiration‚ to create a lower osmotic potential. Osmotic potential is the part of the water potential of a tissue that results from the presence of solute particles. Even though the stomates open to release water‚ it also brings in carbon dioxide to produce sugar and oxygen through a process of photosynthesis

Transpiration Lab Write-up. Introduction Transpiration is the evaporation of water from plants. It’s not simply a hazard of plant life but it’s the engine that pulls water from the roots to cool the leaf and supply photosynthesis. The concentration of water vapor in the atmosphere is lower than that in the leaf. Because of this difference‚ water vapor diffuses from the spaces of the leaf‚ through the stomata in the epidermis. Stomata are in the lower epidermis; the lower surface receives less

Introduction Transpiration is a process which is similar to the evaporation. Water is lost at the surface of the plant such as leaves‚ stems‚ roots and flowers in the form of water vapor. It creates a pulling. Force which causes continuous upward movement of water and mineral salts and this force is called transpiration pull. Apart from to water‚ gas like carbon dioxides from the air can also pass through by the pore of the surface of the plants for photosynthesis. But in this experiment‚ we

Adriana Rempson Mrs. Steeger AP Biology-7 10 October 2012 Transpiration in Plants Abstract: Our group wanted to see how transpiration would happen in plants when they were in different environments. The different environments we used were humidity and room environments. We measured transpiration using the whole plant method. Our results showed that the plants in a humid environment had greater transpiration rates than the plants in the room environment. Introduction: Pants absorb and transport

Lab Report Practical 10 Transpiration Date: 05.02.2014 Tutorial group: F Name: Aimukambetov Sanatzhan Lab partner: Aibekova Lazzat Measuring rate of water uptake by plant Introduction Transpiration is the one of the important processes in the plant where the water movement through a plant takes place and after evaporates mostly from leaves (also from stems and from flowers). In other words‚ transpiration is one of the most important mechanisms in plants which affect and support the flow

11/30/12 IB Biology 2‚ Period 1 Transpiration Lab Background Information- Transpiration 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.

Prof. Marilyn Combalicer Exercise 3 TRANSPIRATION I. Result and Discussion 1. Effect of the Environment Factors on the Rate of Transpiration The quantitative rate of transpiration of the branch of papua dilaw was determined using the potometer. The distance travelled by the bubble in the capillary per unit of time was observed under different treatments: a. in front of a fan‚ b. exposed to light‚ c. fan and light‚ d. no treatment. Table 1. The transpiration rate of the branch of papua dilaw

Adriana Gutierrez AP Biology Lab 9 Analysis 1. For this experiment‚ what were the independent variable and the dependent variable? What were the constants? The independent variable of this experiment are the environmental factors that you are testing on the rate of transpiration‚ so our independent variables would be bright light‚ fan‚ dark‚ and misted. The dependent variable is the rate of transportation because this depends on whatever environmental factor the plant is placed. The constants were
