CSEC Biology · May/June 2011 · Paper 2 · Question 1(a)(i)

A student investigated transpiration using two celery stalks placed in dye. Flask A was in normal conditions, Flask B had warm air directed at it. The distance the dye travelled up each stalk was measured at 5-minute intervals over 30 minutes. The results are in Table 1.

On the grid provided on page 3, draw a line graph to represent the data shown in Table 1.
