Does Leaf Surface Area Affect the Rate of Transpiration in a Plant? Aim: The aim of my investigation is to find out if the leaf surface area affects the rate of transpiration in a plant. Variables: The variables of this experiment are;- * The leaf surface area * Temperature of the surrounding air * The speed and amount of wind * The amount of light Environmental Factors: Temperature of air The temperature of the air affects the rate of transpiration. If it is a hot day then the heat will evaporate some of the water and then the leaf will have less water and so it will increase the rate at which the leaf can transpire. Wind The wind also affects the rate at which a leaf can transpire. When the wind blows it carries hot air under the leaves which carries some of the water vapour, thus increasing the rate of transpiration in the leaf. Light When there is...
