Detailed explanation-1: -A potometer is a device, which is used to measure water uptake by the plant shoot during transpiration. It is also known as transpirometer. Ganong’s potometer is used to measure the transpiration rate in a laboratory.

Detailed explanation-2: -A potometer is a piece of apparatus designed to measure water uptake in a leafy shoot.

Detailed explanation-3: -A photometer is used to measure the rate of transpiration which is proportional to the water up taken by the plant.

Detailed explanation-4: -The instrument used for measuring the rate of transpiration is called a potometer.

Detailed explanation-5: -To measure the rate of transpiration we use a piece of equipment called a potometer. A potometer measures how factors such as light, temperature, humidity, light intensity and wind will affect the rate of transpiration.
