We weighed each plant before placing them in their separate conditions and the proceeded to weigh each plant every day following the first day ]]> 2018-02-22 14:08:29 UTC https://padlet.com/bsteele7/7avx3de8ckq7/wish/234217797 bsteele7 https://padlet.com/bsteele7/7avx3de8ckq7/wish/234220267 1. The rate of transipiration was drastically different by putting the plants in a windy condition and a ziploc bag as compared to the control group
2. Our data showed that for the plant in wind, on day 1 the mass was 38g, on day 2 it was 26.5g, and on day 3 it was 18.2g.
For the plant in humidity, the mass on day 1 was 67.4g, on day 2 it was 65.8g, and on day 3 it was 64.15.
3. The windy conditions had the most impact on the transipiration. The wind possibly forced water out of the plant and caused its mass to decrease.
5. The plant’s cell wall can help keep water in the plant and not force any out. A strong cell wall has the capability of keeping water inside the plant.
6. Stomata open and close to allow water in or out. The more stomata in a plant, the more water is allowed to enter or exit. Find a plant with more stomata and a plant with less stomata and put the same amount of water in each. Measure to see how much water is left in each plant after a day.]]> 2018-02-22 14:12:40 UTC https://padlet.com/bsteele7/7avx3de8ckq7/wish/234220267 bsteele7 https://padlet.com/bsteele7/7avx3de8ckq7/wish/234232181 1. Our hypothesis for the windy conditions was correct, however the plant with humidity was incorrect. The wind cause much more transpiration to occur but the humidity caused much less transpiration to occur.
2. A challenge was weighing the plants. Making sure we received accuatate data was somewhat difficult. I’m the end, the data made sense and the mass was accurate.]]> 2018-02-22 14:30:11 UTC https://padlet.com/bsteele7/7avx3de8ckq7/wish/234232181 bsteele7 https://padlet.com/bsteele7/7avx3de8ckq7/wish/234235325 While our hypothesis for the plant in humidity was incorrect and the data surprised us, our hypothesis for the plant in windy conditions was correct and made sense. The rate of transipiration drastically increases when a plant is put in windy conditions and the rate decreseases in humidity. Depending on the amount of stomata in the plant, the transpiration rate will either be higher or lower. Plant transpiration can be easily observed by putting plants in different conditions and weighing the mass. ]]> 2018-02-22 14:34:23 UTC https://padlet.com/bsteele7/7avx3de8ckq7/wish/234235325
