{"product_id":"potometer-ganongs","title":"Potometer  Ganong's","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Ganong's Potometer on a wooden base is a specialized laboratory apparatus used to measure the rate of transpiration in plants by tracking water uptake. It is a standard tool in school biology labs for demonstrating how environmental factors like light, wind, and humidity affect a plant's water loss. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"otQkpb\"
