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 instrument measures how fast water boils?
a stopwatch
What instrument measures the capacity of a water bottle?
a graduated cylinder
Why does overcrowding affect the uptake of water by a plant?
Overcrowded plants have to compete with neighboring root systems for water as well as nutrients.
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 :)
Benefit of large water uptake in plants?
A Large Mineral Uptake
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.
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.
What instrument measures the flow of water?
Cusec
What instrument measures water temperature?
A thermometer
What instrument measures water in a stream?
A flow meter.
What instrument measures how fast water boils?
a stopwatch
What instrument measures water vapor?
dewpoint apparatus
What is the instrument that measures the amount of water that has fallen?
Rain Guage
What instrument measures the capacity of a water bottle?
a graduated cylinder
Why does overcrowding affect the uptake of water by a plant?
Overcrowded plants have to compete with neighboring root systems for water as well as nutrients.
What allows water to flow into roots of plants?
Water evaporates from the leaves of plants, a process known as transpiration. This prompts the plant to uptake water through its root system through osmosis.
