setup 2. this time use a flower pot with soil but with no living plant. cover also the pot and soil with plastic. then place the entire setup om another air-tight bell jar or plastic bag.

within 24 hours, observe the droplets of water along the inner wall of the bell jar in setup 1. compare with 2

Answer 1

animals perspirate (perspiration)

and plants transpirate (transpiration)

fake plants don't transpirate, so little to no water residue would be on the second jar.

I'm not going to do the experiment though.
