Solution
The water in the reservoir can be released into the capillary tube by opening the stop cock. This allows the air bubble to restore back to its original position.

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.
What is the purpose of keeping CaCl2 vials inside the cup?
Mention, if the following statement is True or False. If false rewrite the wrong statement in its correct form:
Potometer is an instrument, used for measuring the rate of transpiration
Name four kinds of potometers on the basis of the names of the scientists who discovered them.
