Two similar green plants X and Y are set up as shown in Diagram 5.2.
Initial mass of X and Y are taken.
Plant X is left at room temperature that is 30 oC
Plant Y is put under a heat source that is 40 oC
The final mass of X and Y are taken after 2 hours.
The results are tabulated in table 5.3

Results:
