Question
Chapter 29, Problem 13TYU
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The pathways and forces which is necessary for the movement of water to the leaves of tree.
Introduction:
Xylem is that component of conducting tissue which is responsible for the transport of water molecules through a plant internally. Tracheids and vessel elements are the cell types of xylem. Tracheids are the long xylem cells and vessel elements are the short cells which are linked together into long tubes. Sieve tubes are the component of phloem in which water moves by the process of osmosis to the adjacent xylem tissues.

A freshwater (very low solute concentration) plant is placed into seawater (very high solute concentration). Which way will the water move?
Describe the pathway water would take up the stem to the leaf of a plant. Describe the water's movement through any cells, tissues, and/or systems of the plant body.
Explain how being in space would affects the plant growth by analysing the differences and similarity of the functionality of the plant in space and on earth. You have to use the knowledge of transport system as a foundation for your answers.

(Check all that apply) Check All That Apply The H-bonds in water allow for cohesion. Water pressure builds in roots to drive water up the plant. Exposed water in leaves evaporates into drier air. Water forms a continuous stream from leaf into the root. In addition to water, heat is lost cooling the plant during transpiration.arrow_forward
