1. water moves into the roots, from the soil by osmosis
2. water moves up the stem into the leaves
3.water is lost by evaporation from open stomata
measuring transpiration rate:
- potometers- a tube with a reservoir feeding through it and a scale with an air bubble at zero feeding into a beaker of water.
factors that affect the transpiration rate- temp, light intensity, humidity, air movement
