Biology · Secondary 4 · Hard · Factors affecting transpiration
Four leafy shoots are placed in identical measuring cylinders, each containing 80 cm³ of water covered with a thin layer of oil to prevent evaporation from the water surface. They are left for 24 hours under the following conditions:
Shoot Humidity Temperature / °C
1 low 15
2 low 30
3 high 15
4 high 30
After 24 hours, the volume of water left in cylinder 1 is 60 cm³ and in cylinder 3 is 75 cm³.
What is the most likely volume of water left in cylinder 2?
Shoot Humidity Temperature / °C
1 low 15
2 low 30
3 high 15
4 high 30
After 24 hours, the volume of water left in cylinder 1 is 60 cm³ and in cylinder 3 is 75 cm³.
What is the most likely volume of water left in cylinder 2?
- less than 55 cm³
- between 55 cm³ and 60 cm³
- between 60 cm³ and 75 cm³
- greater than 75 cm³
