Describe an experiment to demonstrate the upward movement of water in plants.
Answers
Answer:
1) Take a potted plant.
2) Cover it by polythene so that its roots along with soil get completely covered. This will prevent evaporation of water from the soil.
3) Put a bell jar over the potted plant.
4) Apply vaseline on the rim of the jar, this will prevent air from entering the jar from outside.
5) Keep this set-up in the sunlight for some time.
6) You will find drops of water on the inner side of the bell jar. These drops are due to the process of transpiration.
hope this helps..
