The apparatus shown in the following diagram is Garreau’s potometer designed to demonstrate unequal transpiration from the two surfaces of a dorsiventral leaf. Before keeping the leaf in between the cups, anhydrous calcium chloride (CaCl2) contained in two small vials were weighed and placed in both the cups. The ends of the cups were closed with corks through which two mercury manometers were connected. After few hours, CaCl2 vials were taken out and weighed again.
After few hours CaCl2 vials were taken out and weighed again. Will you expect any difference in weight? If so, give reason.
Mention, if the following statement is True or False. If false rewrite the wrong statement in its correct form:
Potometer is an instrument, used for measuring the rate of transpiration
Define the following term:
Potometer
