Chapter 35, Problem 13TYK
Summary Introduction
To review:
Some of the other factors regarding plant adaptation, which are responsible for gaining nutrients.
Introduction:
Plants require essential micronutrients and macronutrients for their normal growth and reproduction. These nutrients are mainly provided through their complex root system and conducting vessels like xylem and phloem.

- If you live in an area where it snows, picture road salt being put on this road in the winter; picture the thawing of snow and the splashing of water as trucks and cars move along. Where does this salt go? Is any of it present around you, and do you think it has any effect on the types of plants that grow here?arrow_forwardAccording to the pressure-flow model, sugar is actively transported into phloem anda. enters xylem, where it is moved toward the leaves due to transpiration.b. creates pressure to move water toward the roots.c. is transported out of the leaves through stomata.d. water follows by osmosis, providing pressure that moves the water and sugar through the phloem.arrow_forwardWhich 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 waterarrow_forward
- Why do water molecules cohere to each other? A. Water is polar B. Covalent bonds form between water molecules C. The sugar in the xylem sap makes the water sticky Which of the following is a source? A. Fruits B. Young leaves C. Mature leaves Which of these is a sink? A. Roots B. Mature leavesarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is inaccurate?a. Water that evaporates from leaves is ultimately replaced by water diffusing from the xylem.b. Xylem transports water up the plant while phloem transports carbohydrates throughout the plant.c. Water movement in the xylem is largely due to the pressure-flow hypothesis.d. Water movement across membranes is often due to differences in solute concentrations.arrow_forwardThe fifth concept used to understand plants is that plants must survive in their own _______________________. Imagine a plant adapted to a desert and one adapted to a rain forest. Do you think that the leaves of one might be different from the leaves of the other? That one might have enlarged roots that can store water and the other would not need these? Would it be easier to understand a plant’s anatomy and physiology, all its biology, if we also know the type of habitat to which it is adapted?arrow_forward
- When plants first moved on to land, they faced with a wide variety of new challenges. Two of these challenges include the risk of drying out and the ability to access/transport resources. Describe not just list 4 adaptations that allow plants to cope with these challenges, 2 for coping with drying out and 2 for coping with accessing/transporting resources.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is a mechanism of water movement in xylem that does not generatesufficient force to explain the rise of water to the tops of the tallest tree?1.
