Quick Recall Flashcards

What is a potometer?
An apparatus that measures the rate of water uptake by a plant shoot. Used to estimate transpiration rate (though actually measures uptake, not loss).
What is a xerophyte?
A plant adapted to survive in dry/arid conditions with limited water availability (e.g., cacti, marram grass).
