Experimental Design Plan – Week 6
Experiment introduction and Background research:
Plant transpiration is the process in which moisture or water vapor is released from the surface
of plants into the atmosphere. This process is vital for the survival of plants as it aids in the uptake and
distribution of water and nutrients throughout the plant. Transpiration is also important for regulating
the temperature and humidity levels for plants.
It has been observed that there are various factors that can influence transpiration rates in
plants, including temperature, light, humidity, plant species, and air flow. One particular factor that has
been of interest in recent research is the role and influence of enzymes on transpiration. Enzymes are
biological molecules that act as catalysts, aiding in chemical reactions within living organisms.
This experiment aims to investigate the effect of temperature on plant transpiration rates and
