selected a plant with healthy leaves. He covered the
leaves with a polythene bag as shown in figure below.
He left the plant in the sun. He was doing an
e+periment on Transpiration in plants. Transpiration is
the process by which moisture is carried through plants
from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves1
where it changes to vapour and is released to the atmosphere. Transpiration is essentially
evaporation of water from plant leaves.
