Question

1. transpiration and water flow through xylem experiment

Which leaf (trimmed or untrimmed) will dye go up the petiole the fastest if put in beakers with dye? why?

When you cut the petiole of the leaf a cm at a time (reducing the surface area) what structures are important in transpiration were removed?

2. The parenchyma cells of taproots store carbohydrates. Some taproots are used by humans for food.

a. name three taproots.

b. Example of fibrous root system(specific, ex: provide the species... or atleast the genus name of the organism chosen)

c. brief summary of taproot and fibrous roots stsytems(150-200 words)

Explanation / Answer

1)

The untrimmed leaf has the fastest transpiration rate than trimmed leaf. The trimming of leaf results reduction of its surface area, so that the rate of transpiration also deceases.

If you cut the petiole of the leaf a centimeter at a time then it results the removal of leaf, which is important in transpiration.

2)

a) The three tap roots are:

b) The Example of fibrous root system is:
