Lemna minor is a species of free-floating aquatic plants from the duckweed family Lemnaceae. The plants grow mainly by vegetative reproduction: two daughter plants bud off from the adult plant. An experiment is carried out to investigate the effect of abiotic factor such as pH on Lemna sp. growth. Experiment is done under controlled conditions: 12 hours a day light exposure and using the same Knops solution. Petri dish is filled with 20 ml Knops solution with different pH value and 5 Lemna sp. each. The Knops solution is treated by adding acid or alkali to achieve the pH value needed. ** Knops solution is a solution which contains essential nutrient for plants growth.

Transpiration is the evaporation of water from a plant to the surroundings. The rate of transpiration is affected by environmental factors such as temperature. A group of students carried out an experiment to study the effect of temperature on the rate of transpiration. Diagram 1 shows the set up of the apparatus. An air bubble was trapped in the capillary tube. The apparatus was placed in an air-conditioned room at 20oC. The time taken for the air bubble to move a distance of 10 cm was recorded. The experiment was repeated for a second time to get average readings. The experiment is repeated by placing the apparatus at three more different temperatures: an airconditioned room at 25oC , an air-conditioned room at 30oC and in a non air-conditioned room at 35oC.
