Answer:
A potometer measures water loss from leaves. A bubble potometer measures the rate of water loss from a plant by transpiration. A weight photometer measures the amount of water lost by a plant through transpiration. The washing line method is used to prove that most water loss occurs from the lower surface of the leaf.
potometer' (from Greek ποτό = drunken, and μέτρο = measure), sometimes known as transpirometer, is a device used for measuring the rate of water uptake of a leafy shoot which is almost equal to the water lost through transpiration. The causes of water uptake are photosynthesis and transpiration
The process is photosynthesis
Specifically, urease catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea to produce ammonia and carbamate, the carbamate produced is subsequently degraded by means of spontaneous hydrolysis to produce another molecule of ammonia and carbonic acid. [1] Urease activity tends to increase the pH of the medium in which it is due to the production of ammonia. It is produced by bacteria, fungi and several higher plants. Urease, functionally, belongs to the superfamily of amidohydrolases and phosphotriesterases. [2]
