Concept explainers

Osmosis

In simple words, osmosis is the slow, gradual movement of a liquid through a membrane. But there are nuances to this process. For instance, there has to be an imbalance in the distribution of solute in the liquid on either side of the membrane, which has to be semipermeable. The liquid in the region with a lower solute concentration moves to the region with a higher concentration, thereby displacing the solution in the process. The objective is to equalize the concentration of molecules on both sides of the membrane; the displacement of liquid can be viewed as a byproduct of this equalization. Since there is no energy required to carry osmosis, it is considered a passive process.

In a lab, a scientist would like to explore the effect of solute concentration in the xylem on sugar transport in a plant. He adds salts and minerals to the xylem tissue to increase the solute concentration and a radioactive substance to the leaves that are incorporated into the sugars during photosynthesis. At some point he adds a substance to detect the radioactive material and finds that it is all still situated in the leaves and has not been transported to the sink. Explain, using the pressure flow or mass flow hypothesis why the sugar has not been transported to the sink (4).

But how are the two types of mesophyll involved? From what I understand, CO2 enters the stomata, and then the citric acid cycle of the mitochondia in the mesophyll use the carbon atoms do produce glucose, which then goes through phloem loading and it either used or stored. My question, I guess, is how exactly are the two types of mesophyll involved? Is only one used or are both used at different times in the production of the glucose?
