Detailed explanation-3: -Investigating transpiration Under normal circumstances, the rate of water uptake gives a measure of the rate of transpiration . A simple potometer is a piece of capillary tubing to which a plant has been connected. The water uptake is measured by recording the time taken for a bubble in the tube to move a set distance.
