In this lab you will be investigating the effects of different environmental factors on the rate of transpiration in a plant. You will be using a. potometer. (a pipette attached to a rubber tube) to measure the rate of water loss in a plant.n this lab you will be investigating the effects of different environmental factors on the rate of transpiration in a plant.

The carâs radiator acts as a heat exchanger, transferring excess heat from the engineâs coolant fluid into the air. The radiator is composed of tubes that carry the coolant fluid, a protective cap thatâs actually a pressure valve and a tank on each side to catch the coolant fluid overflow.
The radiator cap actually increases the boiling point of your coolant by about 25 C. How does this simple cap do this? The same way a pressure cooker increases the boiling temperature of water. The cap is actually a pressure release valve, and on cars it is usually set to 15 psi.
