Transpiration is the evaporation of water from the aerial parts of plants‚ especially leaves but also stems‚ flowers and roots. Leaf surfaces are dotted with openings called stomates that are bordered by guard cells. Collectively‚ the structures are called stomata.[1] Leaf transpiration occurs through stomata‚ and can be as a necessary "cost" associated with many processes such as the opening of the pistil and allowing the diffusion of carbon dioxide gas from the air for photosynthesis.

Lab 4: Plant Transpiration Project By Shelby Hyde Lab 030 Date Due: March 12‚ 2013 The Effect of Wind on the Rate of Transpiration Introduction: Transpiration is the process through which water is evaporated from plants. This serves many purposes‚ including thermoregulation and the diffusion of CO2‚ but most importantly creates a water potential difference which causes the mass flow of water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves of the plant. Transpiration is accomplished through structures

Biology Assignment Transpiration rates between Exotic vs. Native plants In this investigation we will be looking at transpiration. The topic we will be focusing on is transpiration rates between native plants as well as exotic plants. We will be experimenting with 2 native plants as well as 2 exotic plants. The reason we are experimenting on this topic is because of Australia’s dry weather‚ we are wanting to find out which plants will be able to hold more water during Australia’s peaking tempretures

Transpiration Abstract This lab demonstrates how different environments effect the rate of transpiration in plants. A potometer is set up and placed in four different environments: one simply at room temperature (the control)‚ one with a fan pointing toward it creating a gentle breeze‚ on with a floodlight on it and a beaker felled with water as a heat sink‚ and one where the leaves are misted then covered with a transparent plastic bag. It is imperative that the tubing doesn ’t have any bubbles

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 when

TRANSPIRATION DESIGN LAB Transpiration is the process through which water is lost from a plant. Water is taken into a plant through roots and root hairs by osmosis‚ and it exits the plant through stomata. Transpiration helps the diffusion of both O2 and CO2 plus it helps the movement of water throughout the plant. There are some factors that affect the rate of transpiration of the plant. Those factors are mainly humidity‚ soil water supply‚ sunlight‚ temperature and wind. Any alteration

with temperature since transpiration is a cooling mechanism to release heat. More stomata open as temperature increases as this allows a faster transpiration rate. Although‚ at much higher temperatures‚ plants close stomata to prevent excess water loss. 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

An experiment proving transpiration in leaves Aim To see how different environmental conditions affect transpiration of a leaf and which side of the leaf transpires the most. Background Information Plants put down roots into the soil to draw water and nutrients up into the stems and leaves. Some of this water is returned to the air by transpiration (when combined with evaporation‚ the total process is known as evapotranspiration). Transpiration rates vary widely depending on weather conditions

Transpiration Introduction: “Transpiration occurs when the water moves from the soil into plant roots‚ up through the stem and into the leaves. The water‚ warmed by the sun‚ turns into vapor (evaporates)‚ and passes out through thousands of tiny pores (stomata) mostly on the underside of the leaf surface. Leaf transpiration occurs through stomata. Transpiration uses about 90% of the water that enters the plant. The other ten percent is used in photosynthesis and cell growth” (Sunny Datko‚ 2012)

In other words‚ transpiration is one of the most important mechanisms in plants which affect and support the flow
