Movement into and out of cells — practice question

A student wanted to determine the rate of transpiration by using a potometer, as shown. The student was asked to calculate a transpiration value with the units $\text{mm}^3$, $\text{m}^{-2}$ and $\text{hour}^{-1}$. Which measurements would the student need to make?

  • Avolume of water in the reservoir, length of the capillary tubing, temperature and how many leaves are on the shoot
  • Bvolume of water in the reservoir, radius of the capillary tubing, time and surface area of the leaves
  • Cdistance air bubble moves, radius of the capillary tubing, time and surface area of the leaves
  • Ddistance air bubble moves, length of the capillary tubing, temperature and how many leaves are on the shoot
