Transpiration
Transpiration Objective: In this laboratory we will examine the effects of various types of weather on water transpiration in plants. Introduction: Every day, a plant loses much more water than it needs to survive through transpiration, the evaporation of water from the plants surface, and guttation, the loss of liquids from the ends of vascular tissue at the margins of the leaves. ... Explain why each of the conditions causes an increase or decrease in transpiration compared with the control. ... Light – Light had little affect on transpiration. ... Conclusion: From this laboratory we can see that different conditions affect the rate of transpiration in a plant. ... All in all, it is clear that inclement conditions hinder water transpiration which is the mark of a healthy plant as a plant which is actively transpiring will have open stomata, plenty of water, and plenty of CO2 for photosynthesis.
