Which of the following statements are true and which ones are false? Give reason in support of your answer.
Forest contribute in bringing rains.
What is lenticular transpiration? Mention one major difference between lenticular transpiration and stomatal transpiration.
The apparatus shown here is Ganong's photometer designed to demonstrate unequal transpiration from the two surfaces of a dorsiventral leaf. Before keeping the leaf in between the cups, anhydrous calcium chloride (CaCl2) contained in two small vials were weighted and placed in both the cups. The ends of the cups were weighted and with corks through which two mercury manometers were connected. After a few hours, CaCl2 vials were taken out and weighed again.
(i) What is the purpose of keeping CaCl2 vials inside the cup?
(ii) After a few hours, CaCl2 vials were taken out and weighed again.
will you except any difference in weight? If so, give reasons.
(iii) What was expect the purpose of using a manometer?
(iv) What do you mean by transpiration?

The apparatus shown in the following diagram is Garreau’s potometer designed to demonstrate unequal transpiration from the two surfaces of a dorsiventral leaf Before keeping the leaf in between the cups, anhydrous calcium chloride (CaCl2) contained in two small vials were weighed and placed in both the cups. The ends of the cups were closed with corks through which two mercury manometers were connected. After few hours, CaCl2 vials were taken out and weighed again.
