 Form 3 Chapter 2
The apparatus in figure 1 was used in a science activity.

FIGURE 1

The following steps were carried out:

Step 1 : Two similar hibiscus plants, about 25 cm tall, were selected.
Step 2 : The plants were pulled out of the soil and the roots were washed to remove any remaining soil.
Step 3 : The plants were trimmed until ten leaves were left on each plant.
Step 4 : Each plant was placed in a measuring jug filled with water, and labelled F and G, as shown in the figure above.
Step 5 : 10 ml of cooking oil was poured into each jug.
Step 6 : A layer of grease was applied to the leaves in G.
Step 7 : The plants were placed in the Sun for three hours. The initial and final water levels in both jugs were recorded in the
table below.

Plant F Plant G
Initial water level 75 ml 75ml
Final water level 68 ml 75 ml

(a) Suggest a hypothesis for this experiment.

(b) What are the three variables that are kept constant in this experiment?

(c) Name the variable that

(i) is manipulated :

(ii) responds :

(d) Name two processes in plants that require the uptake of water from the roots.

amount of soil and nutrients. The bark of one of the plants is removed, leaving a cut ring. Figure 4(b) shows the cut ring at the
initial stage.
