Question

Potometer does not directly measure transpiration because it measures:

  1. A
    Water uptake, not actual vapor loss
    Correct
  2. B
    Only stomatal number
  3. C
    Only xylem diameter
  4. D
    Leaf area only

Correct answer

Water uptake, not actual vapor loss

Explanation

Some absorbed water is used internally, so uptake is only an indirect estimate.
