1. An experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of different concentration of sucrose
solutions on potato tissues.
The following steps were carried out:
Step 1: Four pieces of potato discs with thickness of 2mm each were obtained from a potato.
Step 2: Each disc was immersed in a petri dish containing different concentration of sucrose
solution.
Step 3: After 20 minutes, the potato discs were removed and wiped dry with a filter paper.
Step 4: The final diameter of each potato disc was measured and recorded.
Diagram 1 shows the initial diameter for each potato disc.

2. Transpiration is the loss of water vapour from plants, especially in leaves. Transpiration occurs
mostly through the stomata, the amount of water lost by a plant depends on its size,
surrounding light intensity, temperature, humidity and wind speed. Diagram 3 shows the
movement of water in a terrestrial plant.
