Part H The following data chart shows the change in mass--compared to the initial starting mass--as well as the percentage change in mass for both the control and experimental plants for each day of the experiment. A graph of the data follows the table. DAY Condition DAY 2 DAY DAY 3 DAY 5 1 4 Control 69.8 67.5 63.2 60.4 56.8 Mass in grams (g) Percentage change 2.1% 9.7% 13.5% 18.6% (from initial mass) Experimental sample (fan) Mass in grams (g) 80.2 71.1 62.4 50.8 41.4 Percentage change (from initial mass) 11.30% 17.8% 29.4% 48.4% 50- Experimental sample 40 30 20- Control 10- Percentage change in mass 1 2 3 5 Time (in days) To compare the effect of different conditions on the rate of transpiration, you will need to calculate the rate over the time course of the experiment. Let's review how to do a rate calculation: Rate = slope of the line, or Ay/Ax Thus, using the data from the above table or graph, you can determine the rate of transpiration in the control plant from Day 1 to Day 2 by dividing the change in value on the y-axis (percentage change in mass, or 2.1-0 = 2.1%) by the change in value on the x-axis (number of days, or 2-1 = 1 day) = 2.1% per day. What is the transpiration rate for the experimental plant, from the initial day to the last day of the experiment? O 12.1% per day O 19.0% per day 4.7% per day 48.4% per day Submit Request Answer

The correct answer is 1st option i.e. 12.1 % per day. We can calculate the transpiration rate for the experimental plant from the initial day i.e. day 1 to the last
