a plant?
Hypothesis: The diameter of the stem above the ring is larger than the diameter of the stem
below the ring.
Variables:
Manipulated variable : A stem that is ringed and a stem that is not ringed.
Responding variable : The diameter of the stem above and below the ring after one month
Constant variable : stem from the same tree
Materials & apparatus: two healthy potted plant with small stem, vaseline, sharp knife,
measuring tape
Procedure:
unringed stem
Presentation of data:
Diameter of stem A before ringing = 5cm
Diameter of stem A after ringing (cm)
Above the ring Below the ring
6 4
swelling
shrinking
Discussion:
1. Name the type of vascular tissue which have been removed from stem A.
Phloem
Conclusion:
The diameter of the stem A above the ring is larger than the diameter below the ring. Phloem
is removed from the stem A. The effect of removing phloem is caused the organic substances
can’t transport down below the ring of stem A. The hypothesis is accepted.
