Explanation:
there are a couple of environmental factors that affect the rate of transpiration. they include:
I) wind:in a windy environment there is easy movement of moisture hence it does not accumulate on the leaf surface. this helps to increase diffusion gradient between the intercellular spaces in the leaf and in the environment there4 the rate of transpiration is increased. in a calm environment moisture accumulates on the surface of a leaf there4 reducing the diffusion gradient there4 reducing the rate of transpiration
ii) atmospheric pressure :in low lands there is high atmospheric pressure than in the highlands. the more the atmospheric pressure the more the pressure exerted on the cells of the leaves there4 reducing the rate of transpiration.
iii) humidity:the more the humidity in the atmosphere the less the rate of transpiration. this is due to low diffusion gradient due to accumulation of water vapour on the surface of the leaf
iv) temperature:a rise in temp increases the water vapour holding capacity of air in the air spaces within the spongy mesophyll layer. the water vapor pressure in the intercellular spaces increases causing an increase in diffusion gradient between the intercellular spaces and the environment there4 increasing the rate of transpiration. decrease in temp decreases the water vapor holding capacity in the intercellular spaces there4 diffusion gradient is lowered there4 reducing the rate of transpiration.
Answer:
L means same time.
Explanation:
Same time is needed for water vapor from the same leaf to diffuse through another pore of length 1.30 L because the evaporation takes place at the same time in the pore and water is evaporated to the atmosphere but more water is evaporated due to increase of surface area as compared to the other pore that have small opening so the time is same but the amount of water evaporated is different.
Answer :
Vinegar is a weak acid. This is used to make a naked egg. When an egg is added in the vinegar for one day / 24 hrs, it reacts with the eggshell. The calcium carbonate shell gets dissolve.
Then an egg without shell is formed and the size of the egg does not change. The calcium carbonate reacts with acetic acid and forms carbon dioxide.
When the shell-less egg is kept in the vinegar for 48 hrs i.e. 2 days again, the water content in it enters into the eggs through the membrane. Then the egg gets somewhat bigger.
Otherwise, for 24 hrs, vinegar is acting like an isotonic solution and only dissolves the shell. This experiment would be done for showing the osmosis process through the cell membrane.
