Effects of Temperature, Wind Speed & Humidity

Explaining the Effects of Temperature, Wind Speed & Humidity: Extended

• Wind speed, humidity, and temperature exert influence on transpiration rates.
• The provided table delineates their impact on transpiration when they are all elevated; conversely, reduced levels of these factors would yield opposite effects.

• Utilizing a potometer allows for the examination of how environmental variables affect transpiration rates.

Wilting: Extended

• If a plant loses more water from its leaves than the soil can provide through osmosis, it results in wilting. This occurs when the plant cells lack sufficient water, causing the cell walls to lose strength and the plant to collapse.
• Wilting: This happens when the plant cells do not have enough water, leading to weakened cell walls and the plant's collapse.

A wilted plant cannot support itself and starts to collapse
