Question
Chapter 36.4, Problem 4CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The cooling effect of evaporation on leaves.
Concept introduction: Transpiration is the process of evaporation of water from the leaves of the plant. Water is absorbed by the roots and transported to the leaves. While stomata are open during the exchange of gases, transpiration occurs during photosynthesis.

The leaves of the plant in front of the fan had the highest initial water potential and therefore lost the most water. The control plant had lower initial water potential in the root area and therefore lost less water. The control plant had a lower initial mass and so lost water at a decreased rate. The fan rapidly moves water molecules away from the leaf surface, lowering the water potential.arrow_forward
