- An experiment was carried out to investigate transpiration and absorption of water in sunflower plants in their natural environment with adequate supply of water. The amount of water was determined in a two hour intervals. The results are as shown in the table below.
| TIME OF THE DAY | AMOUNT OF WATER IN GRAMMES | |
| Transpiration | Absorption | |
| 11:00-13:00 | 33 | 20 |
| 13:00-15:00 | 45 | 30 |
| 15:00-17:00 | 52 | 42 |
| 17:00-19:00 | 46 | 46 |
| 19:00-21:00 | 25 | 32 |
| 21:00-23:00 | 16 | 20 |
| 23:00-01:00 | 8 | 15 |
| 01:00-03:00 | 4 | 11 |
Using the same axes, plot graphs to show transpiration and absorption of water in grammes against time of the day.
