Question
Chapter 36, Problem 13TYU
Summary Introduction
To explain: The pathways and forces necessary to carry water molecules to the leaves of the trees.
Concept introduction: Water is very important requirement for the growth of plants. Plants have developed an effective way for absorption, translocation, storage, and utilization of water. There is a vascular system in plants that conducts transportation of water in plants. Vascular system comprises two components: xylem and phloem. The transportation of water and dissolved solutes from roots toward leaves is called the ascent of sap.

SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY Extensive irrigationin arid regions causes salts to accumulate in the soil. (Whenwater evaporates, salts that were dissolved in the water are leftbehind in the soil.) Based on what you learned about waterbalance in plant cells, explain why increased soil salinity(saltiness) might be harmful to crops
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?
"Plants, just like any organism, have evolved structures to solve the challenges of life. Plants need to transport water from the ground to the leaves for _________"I feel like that's a vague question and I don't understand it!
