Abstract
The point of this experiment was to see if the rate of wind speeds affects the rate of transpiration in a strawberry plant. The hypothesis that was used was, “If the wind speed increases, then so will the plant’s transpiration rate increase.” The experiment called for the Vernier gas pressure sensor to measure the transpiration rate under low, medium, and high wind speeds. While keeping the light, temperature, and the same plant throughout the experiment. (In this section-talk about my results and conclusion once I get those.)
Introduction
When water is lost through the surface of a plant this is known as transpiration. This process is helpful in many ways. Such as cooling the plant, helping water travel through the plant, taking in nutrients, and keeping the right amount of water pressure. (USGS, n.d.) Throughout the plant, there are pores and these pores function just like human pores. They are called stomatal complexes. “Stomatal complexes in the epidermis of aerial plants parts are critical sites for the regulation of gas exchange between the plant and the atmosphere.” (Nilson, S & Assmann, S., 2007) Stomatal complexes changes in sizes, also like humans pores…..
