    Q1. A potted plant was left in a hot, brightly lit room for ten hours.

    ours. The plant was not


    watered during this period. The drawings show how the mean width of stomata changed
    over the ten hour period.

    (a) Why do plants need stomata?

    .....................................................................................................................................
    (1)

    (b) Some students set up the apparatus shown in the diagram to measure the water loss from a
    potted plant.

    The apparatus was placed in different environmental conditions:

    A in still air at 20 °C. B in still air at 25 °C.


    C in a wind at 20 °C. D in a wind at 25 °C.

    Readings from the balance were recorded by a datalogger at 10-minute intervals.
