Xylem
Transport water and minerals from roots upwards.
Phloem
Carries nutrients from leaf to other parts of the plant.
Downward.
From Sources to sinks
Large leaves are not present in plants in dry environments because....
large leaves loose water.
Phyllotaxy
arangment of leaves on a stem
Angiosperms have alternating phyllotaxy to minimize shading.
Leaf area index
the fractional amount of leaf area covering the area of the circular area of the plant.
Stele
Contains Xylem and Phloem
Taproots
Anchor
typical of gymnosperms and eudicots
roots and fungi hyphae mutualistic association is called....
Mycorrhizae
Mycorrhizai fungai have what advantage over plant roots?
They cover more area and can absorb
Water, Minerals, phosphates.
Apoplast
cell wall
It is interrupted by the Casparian strip in roots,
Symplast
Inside membrane
In plants, what is:
-Long Distance
-Short Distance
In plants, what is:
-Long Distance = vertical flow
-Short Distance = Horizontal flow
Name three Transport routs for water in plants
Apoplastic
Symplastic
Transmembrane route
Active transport needs what?
transport requires ATP
proton
H+
short distance transport across membranes
Pumping (active transport) H+
cotransport of H+ and solutes
Ion Channel
only certain ions can pass
Osmosis
Water flow from low to high concentration
Osmotic pressure
Pressure on solution due to concentration gradients.
Solute potential
Water Potential
Sum of the Solute and pressure potential
Pressure potential
physical pressure on a solution
Turgor pressure
pressure potential by Protoplast and cell wall
Protoplast
living part of the cell
A cell will wilt in
high concentration solution
Plasmolysis
Protoplast shrinks
wilts
If a cell is turgid the water has
water
Aquaporins
transport proteins in the cell membrane that allow passage of water
Bulk flow
solution movement by pressure from transpiration
Long distance transport uses....
bulk flow
Endodermis
around xylem and phloem
inside cortex
transport water/minerals into xylem
Casparian strip
on endodermal wall
blocks apoplastic transfer
Transpiration
evaporated water pulls xylem sap up.
guttation
exudation of water in leaves from root pressure
What help bring up Xylem sap?
Adhesion and cohesion
Bulk flow
-transpiration
-root pressure
Stomata
Gaurd cells
control water loss and gas exchange
Stomata open and close by...
turgig/flacid guard cells
k+ concentration
circadian rhythms
Crassulacean Acid Metabolism CAM
stomatal gas exchange occurs at night
translocation
transportation of photosynthesis products.
Phloem sap
water and sucrose solution
Sugar source
Producer of sugar
leaves
Sugar sink
organ that consums or stores sugar
Companion cell helps
move sucrose from apoplast to symplast
using cotransport
Phloem sap moves by
squeezing pressure
countercurrent mechanism
-water flows into high concentration at source driving solution to sink
