Osmosis is a phenomenon in which there is a movement of water molecules from a region of their higher
concentration to a region of their lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.

paper.compare the rate of transpiration from the upper and lower surface of a leaf using cobalt chloride
Filter paper, cobalt chloride (CoOlr) solution, glass slides, rubber bands, dessicator, a potted plant.
1. Dissolve 5 g cobalt chloride in 100 ml water to make \Vo cobalt chloride solution.2. Cut thin strips of filter paper and dip them in CoCl, solution.3. Dry the cobalt chloride paper strips thoroughly in a dessicator.4. The pink colour strips become blue when dried in a dessicator.5. TWo strips are taken and they are fixed on the lower and upper surface of a leaf with the help of glass
slides and rubber bands.6. Observe the time taken by each of the strips in changing its colour from blue to pink.

It is observed that the strip fixed on the lower surface of the leaf turns pink earlier as compared to thestrip attached to the upper surface.

1. The cobalt chloride strips should be dried completely.2. The cobalt chloride p#er strips should not be handled with wet hands. /3. The strips should be completely covered with the glass slides.4. The strips should be covered with the slides and the rubber bands should be fixed properly.
ffiTo measure the water taken in by a plant because of transpiration, with the help of Ganong,s potometer.
Ganong's potometer, twig of a plant Iike Coleus, water, beaker, colouring agent (eosin).
1. The twig of a plant is taken.2. It is cut with a sharp knife and fitted at one end of the capillary tube.3. The graduated capillary tube is frlled with water.4. One end of the tube is made to dip in a beaker containing coloured water.5. An air bubble is introduced into the horizontal graduated capillary tube by lifting the bent capillary
tube above the coloured water.6. As the process of transpiration takes place from the twig the bubble mov6s forward. Ttris is because
of the suction force which pulls the water from the beaker.7. Since the capillary tube is graduated the reading would give an idea about the volume of water lost.8. The air bubble can again be brought into the capillary tube by releasing some water from the stop-
cock.Twig of a Coleus plant

bubble moves forward. This is because ofSince the capillary tube is graduated the
Tlanspiration takes pface from the leaves and results in absorption of water by the roots. This water
then moves up to the leavd#through the stem.
1. The entire apparatus should be filled with water. There should be no air spaces.
2. The air bubble should be carefully introduced
Limitations of a PotofireterA potometer is a device which is used to measure the rate of water uptake by a shoot cut from a plant. It
does noi measure the transpiration rate directly. The processes oftranspiration and absorption are interre-
lated and so the rate of absorption is measr,rred and transpiration rate is assessed. It is a difficult process and
requires accurate observation hence it is often not used. In this process, some water is used by the plant for
melabolic activities. The rate at which this water is used is not shown by the potometer. The cobalt chloride
paper strip experiment is simpler and it directly helps in comparing the rate of transpiration.

l. Hydrilla plant twigs are taken in a glass funnel.2. The funnel is inverted in a beaker containing water.3. A test tube filled with water is inverted over the stem of the funnel.4. A pinch of sodium bicarbonate is added in the water contained in the beaker, so that carbon dioxide
is produced.5. The apparatus is kept in sunlight for a few hours.

Hydrilla plant twigs should be completely submerged in water.The empty test tube should be carefully removed by placing the thumb at the mouth of the test tube.Sodium bicarbonate should be added to the water so that the plant gets carbon dioxide which isneeded for photosynthesis.

1. A healthy green plant'with long leaves is taken.2. The plant is kept in darknes s for 24hours.3. The next day, a bottle containing potassium hydroxide is tdken and its mouth is closed with a cork
which is split in the middle.4. One of the leaves of the plant is introduced through the split cork into the bottle. Only half the leaf
is introduced.5. The plant and the bottle are exposed to sunlight for a few hours.6. The leaf which was introduced in the bottle is removed.7. It is boiled in alcohol in a beaker which is kept in a water bath.8. The leaf becomes colourless.9. The colourless leaf is washed in water and dipped in iodine.
