How does pH affect the rate of transpiration of a plant and why?

Stomata open in the presence of bases and close in the presence of acids. Therefore, the rate of transpiration is higher in bases due to that they are losing more water through their open stomata.

Does the pH affect the rate in which chymosin works?
yes, like every other enzyme, it has an optimal range of conditions
What factors affect water uptake by plant cells?
soil humidity, air humidity, soil structure, pH, nutrients availability, temp,
How hould you demonstrate that elodea carries out photosynthesis at a faster rate than it carries out respiration?
Do a pH test. The more CO2 consumed (photosynthesizing) the higher the pH. The more CO2 produced (Respiring) the lower the pH. And if a plant is photosynthesizing and respiring at the same rate, the pH will remain level. During a lab like this, we used bromothymol blue to test the pH levels. It will turn yellow if pH <7, blue if pH >7, and Green as the solution changes from acid to base or base to acid.
Which of the following does not affect photosynthesis rate of a plant?
intensity of lightIt is affected by temperature, pH , intensity of light . Other physical factors do not affect much
What environmental characteristics increase the rate of photosynthesis?
Factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis are 1) Light intensity: - the brightness which increases the rate of photosynthesis if increased 2) Light quality: - the color of the light (chlorophyll absorbs red and blue and reflects green, orange, and yellow so red and blue are preferable) 3) CO2 concentration: - the more CO2 the more photosynthesis will occur. 4) chlorophyll availability: - the more chlorophyll the more photosynthesis will occur. 5) water: - INDIRECTLY as if there is little water the plant will stop transpiration by closing the stomata keeping the water inside, but not allowing gaseous diffusion.
How does increased and decreased acidity affect respiration rate?
If the pH is too acidic or too basic, the rate at which photosynthesis occurs will decrease. If the pH is just right for a specific plant (different plants work better at different pH levels), the rate will increase to an optimum point. This is because photosynthesis involves the operation of enzymes, which are affected by many factors, such as changes in pH.
How does pH affect plants growth?
becaues the plants will not have room for its root to grow
State one other factor apart from temperature that will affect the rate of reaction of amylase?
pH and temperature
How does soil fertility and pH affect the ability of soil to support plant life?
In general, a plant cell sap has 6 pH value. That means it works well in a slightly acidic medium. Thus, soil having more than 7 pH becomes alkaline. Increased alkalinity or acidity affect the metabolic activities in plants. Likewise soil fertility also affect plant life. A fertile soil and neutral pH help in better plant metabolism. Hence their optimum values are congenial to plant life.

Does bottled water chemicals have that help plants grow?
NO,The water are acidic in pH which effect the plant growth rate.
How might altering the pH affect the rate of the reaction?
Altering the pH might cause the enzymes involved in a reaction to be denatured. When enzymes are denatured, they do not function properly and the rate of the reaction either slows down or completely stops.
How can acid rain affect the rate of photosynthesis?
Acid rain can affect the rate of photosynthesis by deceasing the pH of the soil. As acid rain contains weak sulfuric acid and many more different solvents therefore will decease the pH (8->6). Having the incorrect pH may kill some of the plants tissues therefore limits photosynthesis.
