Summary Introduction

To create: The concept map that depicts transportation in plant.

Introduction: Angiosperms are the most developed group in the plant kingdom. They comprise the root system, root hairs, shoot system, leaves, petioles, blades, stems, nodes, internodes, and flower. They are seed-bearing plants that are covered.

Explanation of Solution

Pictorial representation: Fig: 1 shows a complete concept map of transport in plants.

CAMPBELL BIOLOGY UH >CUSTOM< W/ACCESS, Chapter 32, Problem 1CC

Figure 1: The concept map depicting the concept in transport in plants.

(a)

Correct answer: Roots.

Roots are the part of the root system that helps in uptake of water and minerals from the surrounding to the shoot system. Hence, the correct answer is roots.

(b)

Correct answer: Xylem.

Xylem is the vascular bundles present in the inner region of the stem that sends water and minerals through them to the rest of the plant body. Hence, the correct answer is xylem.

(c)

Correct answer: Sugar source.

Sugar source is the leaves where, by the process of photosynthesis, the sugar is made. Hence, the correct answer is sugar source.

(d)

Correct answer: Phloem.

Phloem is a type of vascular bundle through which the sugar sources are transported to the rest of the plant body. Hence, the correct answer is phloem.

(e)

Correct answer: Transpiration.

It is the process of loss of water from the plant through the leaves. This helps in maintaining the osmotic balance. Hence, the correct answer is transpiration.

(f)

Correct answer: Sugar sinks.

It is the region where the prepared sugar is stored till the plant is in requirement of energy. When such a situation arises, the plant supplies the sugar from these stored regions. Hence, the correct answer is sugar sinks.
