Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Rate of transpiration is measured by the Ganong’s potometer.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -A porometer measures the stomatal conductance or resistance. There are two general designs, equilibrium and dynamic, that differ in their control philosophy. Both require a chamber to be clamped onto a leaflet. Water loss from the enclosed leaf then tends to increase the humidity in the chamber.
