Q

why is potometer not actual measures of transpiration rate (3)

A

transpiration: loss of water vapour
- potometer measures water uptake to replace loss
- assumes all uptake is lost
- but some might be used eg photosynthesis

Q

describe how transpiration contributes to the mechanism of water transport up the stem

A

  • apoplast and symplast pathways
  • down WP gradient
  • water in the xylem
    -loss of water = low hydrostatic pressure at the top
  • water moves down pressure gradient
  • under tension(pulled up)
  • by mass flow
  • cohesion creates a column of water
  • adhesion of water molecules to xylem(capillary action)
