AP Lab #11 Plant Transpiration August 18, 2014 PURPOSE: What factors, including environmental factors, affect the rate of transpiration? Background: Transpiration is the evaporation of water fom plants. It mostly occurs at the leaves through the stomata. It also pulls up water from the roots to supply photosynthesis, bring minerals up from the roots, and to cool the leaf. Hypothesis: If the plant is placed in front of a fan, then the rate of transpiration will increase If the plant is placed in light, then the rate of transpiration will increase. If the plant is placed in a moist area, then the rate of transpiration will decrease. If the plant is placed in the dark, then the rate of transpiration will decrease. MATERIALS & PROCEDURE:

Vascular Tissue and Transport VASCULAR TISSUE & TRANSPORT Plants rely on specialized tissue, called vascular tissue, to transport water, nutrients, and the products of photosynthesis around the plant. The two types of vascular tissue are: xylem (zy-lum) phloem Water Transport Xylem - Transports water from the roots up to the rest of the plant in one way flow. Tracheids - Hollow cell in xylem with thick cell walls that resist turgor pressure Water Transport Water rises through the thin tubes by a process called capillary action (cohesion of water molecules and adhesion to solid surface). The thinner the tube, the higher the water will rise.
