प्रश्न
Given below is the diagram of an experimental set up to study the process of transpiration in plants. Study the same and then answer the questions that follow:
(i) What is the colour of dry cobalt chloride paper?
(ii) Is the experimental leaf a monocot or a dicot? Give a reason to support your answer.
(iii) Why axe glass slides placed over the dry cobalt chloride papers?
(iv) After about half an hour what change, if any, would you expect to find in the cobalt chloride paper placed on the dorsal and ventral sides of the leaf? Give a reason to support your answer.
(v) Define the term ‘transpiration’.
उत्तर
(i) The colour of dry cobalt chloride paper is blue.
(ii) Dicot leaf. It has reticulate venation.
(iii) To prevent water vapour of the air from interfering the experiment. .
(iv) The cobalt chloride paper placed on the lower surface of the leaf will show more pink dots as there are more stomata. The upper surface has less stomata than the lower surface.
(v) Loss of water as water vapour from the aerial parts of the plant.

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.
What do you mean by transpiration?
Differentiate Between Stomata and Hydathodes.
Differentiate Between Cobalt chloride paper and Goat’s bladder.
