The loss of water from a plant by transpiration cools the leaf. Movement of water in transpiration requires both adhesion to theconducting walls and wood fibers of the plant and cohesion of the molecules to each other. A scientist wanted to increase the rateof transpiration of a crop species to extend its range into warmer climates. The scientist substituted a nonpolar solution with anatomic mass similar to that of water for hydrating the plants. What do you expect the scientist's data will indicate from thisexperiment?The rate of transpiration will be the same for both water and the nonpolar substance.Transpiration rates will fall to zero as nonpolar compounds do not have the properties necessary for adhesion and cohesion.Transpiration rates will increase as nonpolar compounds undergo adhesion and cohesion with wood fibers more readily than water.The rate of transpiration will be slightly lower with the nonpolar substance as the plant will not have evolved with the nonpolarcompound.

In this answer, it aims to investigate the effect of substituting a nonpolar solution with similar…

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).
Suppose that a scientist exposes a leaf to CO2 labeled with radioactivecarbon-14, which is incorporated into organic compounds inphotosynthetic cells. At various times after exposure, the scientist candetermine the location of the radioactive carbon in the plant. In whattissues would you expect to find the radioactive material immediatelyafter exposure to the labeled carbon? What about during transport?When transport is complete, will the radioactive material be in plantparts above the leaf, below the leaf, or both?

An important factor for plants is the amount of water lost for each molecule of carbon dioxide absorbed. How could the plant be harmed if it loses a lot of water for each carbon dioxide molecule, that is, if the ratio is high? Would this be more important for a plant in a rainy habitat or one in a desert?
SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY • INTERPRET THE DATA A Minnesotagardener notes that the plants immediately bordering a walkwayare stunted compared with those farther away. Suspectingthat the soil near the walkway may be contaminated from saltadded to the walkway in winter, the gardener tests the soil. Thecomposition of the soil near the walkway is identical to thatfarther away except that it contains an additional 50 mM NaCl.Assuming that the NaCl is completely ionized, calculate howmuch it will lower the solute potential of the soil at 20°C usingthe solute potential equation:ΨS = -iCRTwhere i is the ionization constant (2 for NaCl), C is themolar concentration (in mol/L), R is the pressure constant[R = 0.00831 (L · MPa)/(mol · K)], and T is the temperature inKelvin (273 + °C).How would this change in the solute potential of the soilaffect the water potential of the soil? In what way would thechange in the water potential of the soil affect the movementof water in or out of the roots?
