Transpiration is the loss of water vapour from plant leaves through stomata. The rate of transpiration is strongly affected by temperature, which influences both the evaporation of water from mesophyll cells and the aperture of stomata. In this investigation, you will use a potometer to measure water uptake as a proxy for transpiration rate across … Continue reading IBDP Internal Assessment: Step-by-Step Guide to Measuring Transpiration in Plants
