Figure 31.6 Soil compaction can result when soil is compressed by heavy machinery or even foot traffic. How might this compaction change the soil composition?
in plants , water is transported through vessels called xylem gravity and move water to their upper tissues ? The cohesiveness of water molecules allows them to travel up the walls of the vessel However , for most plants this is not enough to move the water all the way to the top of the plant How do plants overcome the force ANSWER CHOICES ARE IN THE PHOTO. thanks.
Which the following statement is FALSE:?a. Relative water content is not a very sensitive index because leaves can show strong responses to <2% change in RWCb. Relative water content is not a very sensitive index because it gives no information about the forces for water movementc. Relative water content is equal the ratio of the mass of water in a given leaf over the mass of water when that leaf was fully saturatedd. Relative water content is equal the ratio of the mass of water in a dry leaf over the mass of water when that leaf was fully saturated
In plants, water is transported through vessels called xylem. The cohesiveness of water molecules allows them to travel up the walls of the vessel. However, for most plants this is not enough to move the water all the way to the top of the plant. How do plants overcome the force of gravity and move water to their upper tissues?
Which of the following would tend to DECREASE uptake of water by a plant root hair? Increasing the of the root hair Adding de-salinated water to the soil • Increasing concentrations of solutes in the root hair None of these would decrease uptake of water by a plant root hair
Many woody plant species are capable of growing to incredible heights, despite the need to transport water throughout the length of the plant. The ability of these tall plants to transport water to their tops is a direct result of of water molecules. Group of answer choices Cohesion Water's High Specific Heat Adhesion Evapotranspiration
In plants, water is transported through vessels called xylern. The cohesiveness of water molecules allows them to travel up the walls of the vessel. However, for most plants this is not enough to move the water all the way to the top of the plant. How do plants overcome the force of gravity and move water to their upper tissues ? Root hairs push water through the roots and up into the xylem. Plants absorb water through transpiration to supply their upper tissues with water . С The guard cells surrounding the stomata expand and contract, pushing water through the xylem. Water escapes from the leaves through transpiration, creating a vacuum which pulls water up the xylem.
Water potential is a driving force in plants’ ability to transport water. Explain what water potential is, and describe a specific example of its role in water movement throughout a plant.
Capillary action allows water to flow through plants. Capillary is possible due to what property of water? (A) Polarity(B) Cohesion(C) Neutral pH(D) Surface tension
the process that assists plants in gaining nutrients from soil is called Ion exchange Cation exchange Anion exchange Hydrogen ion exchange
Which of the following statements is CORRECT?Aquaporins:a. play an active role in the regulation of water movement in the xylem during mild droughtb. are proteins embedded in the cell walls that transport waterc. play an active role in the regulation of water movement outside the xylem during mild droughtd. are proteins embedded in the mesophyll and bundle sheath apoplast that transport water
