Laboratory Activity

Week 18
Transpiration
Fulfills AP® Biology Lab Requirement
Introduction
In Laboratory Activity 2, you observed how water passes through cell membranes by osmosis. Plants obtain most
of their water by osmosis through the roots. The water then travels through adjacent cells until it reaches the xylem, a tube-like structure that carries the water up the stem and out to the leaves. Water is necessary for photosynthesis
and other cellular processes. Plant leaves contain openings called stomata, where gases are exchanged. Water loss
through the stomata is referred to as transpiration. In Laboratory Activity 16, you will investigate factors that affect
the rate of transpiration in plants. You will use the scientific method to answer the following question:
Of the following variables, heat/light, wind, and humidity, which will cause the greatest
change in a plant's transpiration rate?
Hypothesis:(look up in a reference book, textbook, or web page)
Methods
Equipment: Digital balance, weighing dishes, bean seeds or young plants with 1/8" dia. stems, 5 feet of 1/8" i.d. plastic tubing, 1 mL graduated pipet (0.01 mL increments), metric ruler, ring stand, test tube clamps, tape, heat lamp, fan, plastic bag, stopwatch, silicon sealant, eyedropper, microscope, slides, cover slips,
preserved slides of Ranunculus (buttercup) stem and root, spinach or similar leaf, dissection scissors,
tweezers, permanent marker, Microsoft Excel or similar program, water.
Procedure: Refer to video lab. Record your data on the following page:
