Name four plant structures that move water from soil to the air above the forest canopy (through a tree). For each named structure, describe how it works to move water into/within/out of the plant. In your answer, focus on how these structures allow a tree to move water high into the air without a mechanical pump; illustrate how this is possible with your answer.

This apparatus was used by a student, in a brightly lit room, to measure the rate of water loss from a leafy shoot. He measured how far the bubble moved in five minutes. He measured this three times. The results are shown in the table. i. Measurement Distance moved by the bubble in cm 1 2 Table 9.1 3 11.9 12.6 13.0 Use these results to calculate the mean (average) rate of water loss in cm per minute. Show your working. cm per minute
Identify which type of plant water movement is meant for long distance transport in plant. *
Plants can transport water from their roots to their canopy regardless of their height. What properties of water make this long distance transport possible? Plants can transport water from their roots to their canopy regardless of their height. What properties of water make this long distance transport possible? Water can dissolve many substances Water has a high specific heat Cohesiveness of water Adhesiveness of water Choices A and B Choices A and C
Water potential is a driving force in plants’ ability to transport water. Explain what water potential is, and describe a specific example of its role in water movement throughout a plant.
Explain the difference between the adhesion and cohesion properties of water molecules, and discuss how the adhesion-cohesion mechanism affects the process of water transport in plants. Please also add diagrams/ illustrations to support your discussion.
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.
Describe how water molecules move into the plant from the soil. Give an example that includes the concept of water potential.
There are four (4) types of water movement in plants. Provide three (3) types of water movement. *
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. Please answer in detail explanation
A freshwater (very low solute concentration) plant is placed into seawater (very high solute concentration). Which way will the water move?
Explain the three different ways water is moved from the soil, through the cortex, and then forced into to the stele of a root. Next, explain how water is moved from the roots up to the leaves.
In plants, water is transported through vessels called xylern. The cohesiveness of water molecules allows them to travel up the walls of the vessel. However, for most plants this is not enough to move the water all the way to the top of the plant. How do plants overcome the force of gravity and move water to their upper tissues ? Root hairs push water through the roots and up into the xylem. Plants absorb water through transpiration to supply their upper tissues with water . С The guard cells surrounding the stomata expand and contract, pushing water through the xylem. Water escapes from the leaves through transpiration, creating a vacuum which pulls water up the xylem.
