Why did you need to calculate leaf surface area in tabulating your results?
Leaf surface area is important to measure in plant studies because it provides a quantitative measurement of the leaf's overall size and potential for photosynthesis. Understanding the surface area helps researchers analyze how efficiently plants can exchange gases with their environment, absorb light for photosynthesis, and regulate transpiration. Additionally, leaf surface area data can be used to compare different plant species, assess the impact of environmental factors, and evaluate the overall health and growth of plants.
Does the size of a leaf affect the rate of transpiration?
The more leaves the plant has, the more surface there is for photosynthesis. This means there will be more stomata so the plant can take in more carbon dioxide. This will also result in more water vapour leaving the plant.
Why do most water loss occur from the lower surface of the leaf?
Most water loss occurs from the lower surface of the leaf because it has more stomata, which are tiny pores that allow water vapor to escape during transpiration. The lower surface is also less exposed to direct sunlight, reducing the risk of excessive water loss through evaporation.
What is the name of water vapour escaping a leaf?
The process I think you're speaking of is transpiration. If you can physically see water droplets on the leaf you could also be witnessing guttation, though, this depends on whether you are viewing this during the day or night. If it is indeed guttation, not transpiration, you would be able to see what looks like water droplets on the leaf surface.
What factors influence the plant transpiration rate?
Factors that influence the plant transpiration rate include environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and light intensity, as well as plant-specific factors like leaf surface area, stomatal density, and plant species.
What is the formula for transpiration?
The formula for transpiration is: Transpiration = (Amount of water transpired) / (Area of leaf surface) * (Time taken)
How does the structure of a leaf help with transpiration?
Increasing surface area via capillary action

Evaporation of water from surface of the leaf is called?
This phenomenon is called transpiration.
The release of water through openings on the leaf surface?
Transpiration

How can you calculate the total leaf surface area expressed in cm2 in mm2?
1 cm2= 100 mm2
Where does water leave the leaf?
The water evaporates through the stomata during transpiration. The stomata are very small holes on the surface of the leaf.
Why do most water loss occur from the lower surface of the leaf?
Most water loss occurs from the lower surface of the leaf because it has more stomata, which are tiny pores that allow water vapor to escape during transpiration. The lower surface is also less exposed to direct sunlight, reducing the risk of excessive water loss through evaporation.
How do you calculate leaf area duration LAD?
Leaf area duration (LAD) can be calculated by summing the leaf area at each measurement time point throughout the growing season. It is commonly calculated by using the trapezoidal rule to estimate the area under the curve of leaf area over time. This provides an integrated measure of the total leaf area produced by a plant over a specific period.
Why is it an advantage for plants in the shade to have a large surface area?
The plants in the shade develop larger leaves to capture more sunlight but at the same time it invites for more transpiration from larger leaf surface, hence it is an adventure for such plants.
