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)

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

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

Nicolette Lindberg 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

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

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

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. Transpiration

To determine the factors that influences the rate of water loss from a plant through transpiration Introduction: Most of the water a plant absorbs is not used for a plant’s daily functioning. It is instead lost through transpiration‚ the evaporation of water through the leaf surface and stomata‚ and through guttation
