Transpiration with Solanum lycopersicum Kimberly Smith Jenna Portier, Aaliyah Hebert, Marie LaSalle, Krystal Bellanger, Thea Martin September 11, 2017 Biology 156 3T1 Abstract This lab deals with the transpiration rates in plants, specifically a tomato plant that was used for this experiment. Transpiration is when water leaves a plant through the stomata as water vapor while the stomata is capturing CO2 for photosynthesis. This experiment used three different scenarios: a tomato plant with a light
Titles and Authors: Transpiration Lab Report By: Ashley Learned, Emma Grau, Grace Krier Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to evaluate the effect of varying environmental factors on the rate of transpiration. We decided to test the factor of light, and what the rate of transpiration is before and after taking away sunlight. We found that the rate of this process was relatively the same in both the light and the dark areas of the classroom. Discussion: In our lab, we tested our question
Transpiration and Leaf Resistance By: Bernina Berber Introduction Transpiration is a part of the water cycle process, and it is the loss of water vapor from parts of the plants. It is a process similar to evaporation. Evaporation and diffusion cause the plant tissue to have negative water potential. If you were to compare transpiration it would be like saying it is close to sweating (but in plants), especially in leaves but also in stems, flowers and roots. Stomata are dots with openings on
myself about the effects of light intensity, representing the three seasons of summer, spring, autumn and winter, on the transpiration rate of mangrove shoots. Abstract: The overall aim of this report was the conduct an experiment based how different light intensity levels, representing the four seasons in a year: summer, spring, autumn and winter, affects the transpiration rate in a mangrove plant. To do this we had to set the 4 different beakers at different lengths apart, each beaker (from
stomatal closure not only helps regulate transpiration in plants that have low water availability, but it also increases its water use efficiency (Huber, 2015). Wind is also considered to be a factor that affects transpiration in plants. Another study observed the effects of stomatal distribution (such as amphistomatous leaves) in leaves of a plant in low wind environments (Foster, 1986). The experiment found that amphistomatous leaves had the greatest transpiration rate at low wind speeds while hyperstomatous
environmental conditions affected the rate of transpiration of a plant. The environmental factors we looked at were the affects of various temperatures and different light amounts in the different temperatures. We found that as the temperature warmed up, the rate of transpiration was higher. When the temperature was at five degrees Celsius, the rate of transpiration was very low. When we took out half of the light source and measured the rate of transpiration in the three temperatures we found the same
AIMS The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effect of temperature rise on the rate of transpiration of a plant (hibiscus) by measuring the plant’s water uptake in a period of time. HYPOTHESIS Transpiration is the process by which plants loses water to the atmosphere from their leaves. Water in the plant is lost to the atmosphere by evaporation. Evaporation of water can occur at any temperature. In the presence of sunlight, water in the plants evaporates into the intercellular air
0610108437 Transpiration Lab Period 8 11/20/17 Introduction Transpiration is said to be the loss of water vapor through the stomata of the leaves in a plant. Transpiration essentially serves to move water and other nutrients throughout a plant, to cool down plants and humans and to maintain turgor pressure in the cells of plants (sdhydroponics). The transpiration rate in a plant is affected by the wind, light and humidity. temperature and water. The wind serves to determine how dry the air is when

What is transportation? Transpiration is the movement from one place to another. Different types of transportation are rail, water, road, and air. Transport is significant because it permits trade between societies, which is vital for the improvement of evolution. The field can be divided into groundwork, automobiles and operations. Transport structure involves pipelines, waterways, roads, railways, warehouses, and bus stations. Different modes of transportation include bicycles, boats, planes
