Answer the following questions :(i) Name 6the physiological process depicyed in the diadram Why was oil added to the water? (ii) When placed in bright sunlight for four hours, what do you observe with regard to the initial and final weight of the plant? (iii) What happens to the level of water when this setup is placed in: 1. Humid conditions? 2. Windy conditions? (iv) Mention any three adaptations found in plants to overcome the process mentioned in (i). (v) Explain the term Guttation.
Answer» (i) Transpiration. Oil was added in order to prevent evaporation from the round bottom flask. (ii) The plant will loose weight as in bright sunlight, the rate of transpiration will he maximum. (iii) 1. Remains same 2. Decreases (iv) Thick cuticle/loss of leaves / narrow leaves / fewer stomata / sunken stomata (v) Loss of water in the form of liquid as droplets from the margins of leaves is called guttation.
