CSEC Biology · January 2020 · Paper 2 · Question 1(a)(ii)

An experiment was carried out to determine the effect of relative humidity (RH) on the rate of transpiration. The results are presented in Table 1.

Use the grid on page 5 to draw a graph of the results.

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.
