what is transpiration
water evaporating of the surface of leaves

2 of 6
explain the mass potometre
as the water goes up in the plant, the oil will lower so we can see how much has moved, and the oil stops water evaporating
3 of 6
why are water molecules pulled up through the xylem
they are cohesive
4 of 6
four factors that affect transpiration?
