what is transpiration
water evaporating of the surface of leaves
1 of 7
where has the most stomata
the lower epidermis so the least evaporation takes place
2 of 7
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 7
why are water molecules pulled up through the xylem
they are cohesive
4 of 7
four factors that affect transpiration?
wind, heat, humidity, light
5 of 7
four differences between the xylem and the phloem
1. xylem carries water and minerals, phloem carries sugars, xylem = passive phloem = active, xylem = up phloem = all direction, xylem cells = dead, phloem cells = alive
6 of 7
what are vascular bundles
bunches of xylem and phloem vessels in the stem/leaves/roots
