Given below is the diagram of an apparatus used to study a particular phenomenon in plants:
- Name the apparatus.
- What is it used for?
- What is the role played by the air-bubble in this experiment?
- What is the use of the reservoir?
- What happens to the movement of the air-bubble if the apparatus is kept:

Give a reason in each case.
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.
What is the purpose of keeping CaCl2 vials inside the cup?
