3.

(i) (Air bubble) potometer;

(ii)(Rate of ) Transpiration;

(iii)  Cut shoot under water

 Apply petroleum jelly to cork – glass connection; Acc.to bung shoot/ bung glass connection

 Open reservoir tap mark first correct answer

(iv) - To ensure no air enters leafy shoot/xylem

-To ensure apparatus is air tight;

-To remove air bubbles from tubes.

(v)  High temperature

 Wind.

 Low humidity

 High light intensity/ bright light

 Low atmospheric pressure. Rej. Unqualified factor. Eg Temperature

(vi)High light intensity

-Stomata are fully/wide open exposing air spaces in the leaf to the atmosphere. This in turn increases water loss by evaporation through the stomata, increasing rate of transpiration/ movement of air bubble. High temperature

-Increases rate of evaporation from the leaf surface; thus more water vapour leaves cells due to increased diffusion gradient; increasing rate of transpiration/movement of the air bubble. Wind

-Air around the leaf is carried away reducing water vapour around the leaf, increasing diffusion gradient between leaf air spaces and the atmosphere increasing rate of transpiration / rate of air bubble Low atmospheric pressure

- Increase diffusion gradient between atmosphere and the leaf increasing rate of evaporation leading to increased rate of transpiration / rate of movement of air bubble.

vii. Use of defoliated shoot/shoot without leaves;

b(i)Klinostat/ clinostat;

(ii) Geotropism;

(iii)As the klinostat rotates; all the sides/parts of the shoot receive (in turn) equal stimulation to gravity; there is equal distribution of auxins on all sides of the shoot; the shoot continue growing horizontally(with no curvature); Total 4mks Max 3mks
