plant 5 palay(rice)(grain) seeds previously soaked in water for 24 hours in a small flower pot with holes at the bottom. immerse the lower portion of the pot in water contained in a shallow dish. add water to the dish from time to time as the need arises. when the seedlings are around 5 cm in length, place the dish with the pot on top of a piece of glass or plastic cover and cover with a bell jar or transparent widemouthed bottle. observe the setup for the next day, preferably in the morning, for the presence of water droplets in the leaves

1. do you see the water droplets at the tips of the blades? if so, how ere they formed?

2. Do you see water on the leaf surface? if so how was it formed?

3. How ca you distinguish between the water that results from gutattion and the water by condensation?

  1. first of all, guttation will only be shown by monocots, more specifically poaceae and other herbs.

    secondly, guttation is due to root pressure and and exudes water from the tips of leaf blades, so if u use coloured water, u will only find that colour at the tip of leaves.

    also,guttation produces large droplets of water compared with fine ones for condensation
