Why does the potometer not measure transpiration accurately?

Because not all of the water that is taken by the plant is used for transpiration. Some of the water taken might be used for photosynthesis or by the cells to maintain turgidity. The potometer measures the rate of uptake of water. To measure transpiration rate directly, rather than the rate of water uptake, utilize a scientific instrument which quantifies water transfer at the leaves.


How would you use the photometer to find the effect of wind on the water uptake by the shoot?

If you are referring to a the rate of water uptake in plants, then a live plant stem is placed in one end of the uptake photometer which is filled with water by a reservoir and tap. at the other end of the photometer there is a scale with an air bubble. Over time, as the plant takes in water, the air bubble will move along the scale and this can be used to work out how much water the plant is using. dont know if this will be of any help :)


How does solar radiation affect water uptake in plants?

Solar radiation in plants inhance the rate of transpiration. To cope up with the water deficiency in plants roots are desired to uptake more water.


What is a potmeter?

A potmeter is a something that is used for measuring the rate of water uptake in a leafy shoot. The causes of water uptake are photosynthesis and transpiration.Soz but this is all i got. i hopped there would be something on here but no. If any one has got more information about it ADD IT!!!


How do you calculate heat rate in gas power plant?

E=MC2 + o2 + H20 = Heat rate


What types of plant feeders are there?

There are several types of plant feeders. The basic plant feeders, such as the Hippohop, simply release water at a constant rate. Other plant feeders calculate how much water is in the soil and release water at a rate to maintain the balance.


What would happen to the rate of photosynthesis if a plant was with ice water?

The rate will decline due to low temperature


What builds up in your cells as you exercise?

If you exceed the rate of oxygen uptake, then lactic acid.


The best time to water plants outside?

Late evening, when soil temperature is less and transpiration rate is lowered. Watering takes out soil air which affects the respiration by roots, hence the water uptake also.


What is the independent variable on graphs?

it is the variable that you change during an experiment and is placed on the x axis. for example, if you are checking for the effect of light intensity on water uptake by a plant, the independent variable is the different light intensity values that you have and the dependent variable is the rate of water uptake which will be on the y axis.

Why the rate of photosynthesis may fall when a plant wilts?

WILTING means when a plant does not have adequate amount of water supply. Therefore less water molecules will be present in the mesophyll cells to be split by the chlorophyll to be combined with CO2 to form C6H12O6(glucose).As a result photosynthesis will decrease.The plant may dry up and die
