Ganong’s Potometer for Biology Laboratory
Ganong’s Potometer is an educational apparatus designed for studying water uptake in plants and demonstrating the process of transpiration. It is commonly used in school and college biology laboratories for practical experiments involving plant physiology.
The apparatus generally consists of a graduated capillary tube, water reservoir, connecting glass tubing, and a setup for holding a freshly cut leafy shoot. As the plant absorbs water, the movement of an air bubble or indicator in the capillary tube can be observed and measured.
The instrument helps students investigate factors affecting water uptake, including light intensity, temperature, humidity, and air movement.
