To return the meniscus to zero in a potometer, you need to adjust the screw or knob on the leveling bulb or reservoir until the meniscus aligns with the zero mark on the scale. This ensures that the air bubble in the potometer is at the starting point for accurate measurements when taking readings for transpiration experiments.

The gas bubble in a potometer may not be moving because there is an air leak in the system allowing the gas to escape. This can disrupt the water flow and prevent the bubble from moving. Check for any leaks in the tubing or connections and ensure they are airtight for proper functioning of the potometer.
Having an airtight seal in the potometer is necessary to ensure that there is no air leakage into the system, which could disrupt the measurement of water uptake by the plant. An airtight seal helps maintain a constant pressure within the potometer, allowing for accurate and reliable measurements of transpiration rates.
The term syringe actually refers to the type of fluid that is in encased in the reservoir of the syringe. However, the function of a syringe is either to pull or push liquid from that reservoir.
Hi, veins function as a blood reservoir as they carry the blood, this giving them the name (reservoir)
It holds or reserves the fluid until it is needed by the system.
To set up a simple volume potometer, first fill the potometer with water and place a plant cutting inside the tubing. Ensure the tubing is airtight and the plant cutting is fully submerged in the water. Use a dropper to add water to one side of the potometer to lower the liquid column and measure with a ruler. Record the initial and final positions of the water to calculate the volume of water absorbed by the plant.

Mass-Curve is a plot of the cumulative flow volumes as function of time. It is used to determine the critical period of a reservoir showing the relationship between withdraw and addition to the reservoir.
The sensitivity of a potometer can be improved by using a narrower capillary tube or a more precise scale for measuring the movement of the air bubble. Additionally, ensuring a consistent water supply and minimizing external factors that can affect the movement of the air bubble can also improve sensitivity.
The displacement efficiency refers to the fraction of the oil in place that is swept from a unit volume of the reservoir. Displacement efficiency is a function of fluid viscosities and the relative permeability characteristics of the reservoir rock (mobility ratio), of the “wettability” of the rock, and of pore geometry.
