1. Write a hypothesis regarding the effects of air movement and light intensity on the rate of transpiration. You may write this as one hypothesis or two. 2. Describe the characteristics of the data which support or refute your hypotheses from Question 6. Were your hypotheses supported or not? 3. The tree from which our branch was cut grows near Grossmont College. Discuss why its transpiration rates might differ between March and August. 4. If you wanted to plant a tree of this species near Grossmont College, where do you think it would grow better: in the Wildlife Sanctuary (on the far side of the perimeter road beyond the parking lot) or in the grassy area among the buildings? (Hint: in which area does the availability of water match the plant's apparent needs?)

Step 1
Hypothesis: - (a) An increase in air movement will lead to an increase in the rate of transpiration. - (b) An increase in light intensity will lead to an increase in the rate of transpiration. Show more…

There are many external factors that impact how well a plant grows, including the type of soil, the amount of water, and the amount of nutrients and minerals. a. How would a scientist determine how factors impact plant growth under field conditions when there are many variables (e.g., temperature, soil type, water, nutrients) affecting growth? b. Design an experiment to test the effects of one external factor on plant growth. Formulate a hypothesis, identify your independent, dependent, and control variables, and outline what data you will collect to answer your hypothesis. 2) Genetically engineered plants are used today to grow more drought- or pest-resistant crops. While this practice increases yield and reduces cost, it also reduces genetic variety. Explain why this is problematic. 3) Why would commercial nurseries routinely pump carbon dioxide into their greenhouses?

Transpiration is an important mechanism in plants for maintaining water balance. A transpiration experiment was conducted using two plant species and the collected data is shown below. Using the information provided, calculate the rate of transpiration of both species at 5 and 15 minutes. Describe how the structure of water allows for the process of transpiration to occur.
