Question
Discuss internal factors that could affect the rate of transpiration of the tomato plant.
C. BIO 11.1 students conducted an experiment that aimed
to determine the deficiency symptoms of tomato plants
placed in a hydroponic solution. Six bottles were
prepared, and each bottle, except for the positive control,
lacked a certain micronutrient. In the positive control, all
nutrients were provided. Unexpectedly, the control setup
still showed symptoms of micronutrient deficiency.
Students later on found out that the relative humidity in
the room was very high and transpiration was affected.
