Question 2

T1 Problem statement:
How does the light intensity affect the rate of transpiration? (3m)

T2 Objective:
To investigate whether light intensity affects the rate of transpiration

T3 Hypothesis:
The rate of transpiration of plant is higher in strong sunlight (3 m )

T4 Variable
Manipulated variable: Light intensity
Responding variable : Rate of movement of air bubble in the photometer
Fixed variable: air movement, temperature and relative humidity
T5 Materials and apparatus:
Mark scheme(Trial Bio 3 Kedah 2007) 12

Capillary tube (about 30 cm long), retord stand, 500 ml beaker, basin, scalpel, rubber
tubing (about 6 cm long), tissue paper, vaseline, marker pen and stop watch, ruler , 2
Hibiscus plant of similar size (3m)

T6 Technique:
The movement of water in a given time is recorded and the rate of transpiration is
calculated

T7 Procedure
1. The leafy shoot is immersed in a basin containing water, and its stem is cut
diagonally
2. The leafy shoot is placed upright in the phptpmeter’s capillary tube,
through a stopper cork
3. All equipment connection points are wiped with vaseline
4. To trap an air bubble, the end of the capillary tube is removed from the
basin, and then put back into the water
5. A length of 5 cm is marked on the photometer
6. The photometer is placed in the shade and using a stopwatch, record the
time taken (in minutes) for the air bubble to move from point A to point B
7. To reset the photometer, squeeze the rubber tubing so that the air bubble
escapes into the beaker of water.
8. Repeat step 4 to 7 to get three readings with the same shoot in the shade
and under strong sunlight respectively
9. The average and the rate of transpiration measurement is recorded in the
table. (3m)
T8 Result:

T9 Conclusion:

Hypothesis is accepted. In a shady condition, the plant’s rate of transpiration is lower

when compared with its rate of transpiration in strong sunlight.
