Chapter 38, Problem 3TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction: There are many ways by which the plants prevent water loss. The development of mechanisms and structure is the method to cope up with the evaporative loss of water. The excessive water loss from the plant body can result in the stunted growth.

All of the above are used for tissue-level transport.e. None of the above are used for tissue-level transport.arrow_forwardWhich of the following would require active transport? Select one: O a. Stomata opening b. Potassium moving through an ion channel O c. Water moving through aquaporins O d. Water diffusing into xylem from the root e. The tension in the leaf caused by evaporating waterarrow_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_forward
- Water movement through the xylem needs less pressure than movement through living cells. A. Agree, because water moves in xylem through diffusion. B. Disagree, because water needs turgor pressure in order to diffuse. D. Disagree, beacuse both need equal pressure for materials to pass through xylem and living cells like sievetubes. C. Agree, because water is non-living while photosynthates are living and must pass through living cells that require pressure.arrow_forwardSucrose enters the phloem tubes from mesophyll cells in the leaf by: O a. Proton pumps (hydrogen ions are pumped out as sucrose is pumped in). O b. Sucrose pumps. Oc. Co-transport with hydrogen ions. O d. Diffusion down a gradient. O e Osmosis (water carrying the sucrose is sucked in).arrow_forwardWhen a cell from flaccid plant tissue is placed into a hypotonic solution: a. The cytoplasm will shrink and plasmolysis will occur b. Net water movement will be into the plant cell c. Lysosomes will remove the excess water, protecting the cell d. No net water movement will occur e. The plant cell will break open (lyse)arrow_forward
- Describe the pathway water would follow from the soil to the stem of a plant. Describe the water's movement through the cells, tissues, and systems of the plant body.arrow_forwardThe process of bulk flow transports fluids in a plant. What are the two main bulk flow processes? * A. Movement of water up the xylem and movement of solutes up and down the phloem B. Movement of water up the phloem and movement of solutes up and down the xylem C. Movement of water up and down the xylem and movement of solutes up the phloem D. Movement of solutes up the xylem and movement of water up and down the phloem E. Movement of solutes down the phloem and movement of water up and down the xylem F.

(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
- What is true about osmosis? Select one: a. it is passive movement of water across a membrane b. it is an active process c. it must require special proteins d. it is the driving force for water movement from the root to the shoot e. it involves movement of water toward its highest concentrationarrow_forwardPlant roots have devised in such a manner that they can control over the ions that enter into the water conducting tissue system.
