Summary Introduction
Concept introduction:
The ascent of sap is defined as the upward movement of water from root to aerial part of the plant. The movement occurs through xylem against the gravitational force. The food-containing cells carry sugary liquid solutions mostly water and sucrose called phloem sap.

- Which of the following is not correct concerning plant xylem? The fluid (sap) in the xylem transports sperm and eggs throughout the plant. The fluid (sap) in the xylem transports water and ions. The fluid (sap) of the xylem moves from the roots toward the leaves of the plant. The xylem is composed of tubular cells that run throughout the stems and leaves of vascular plants.arrow_forwardTissue through which sugars and other organic molecules are translocated from the sources to different parts of the plant Xylem Phloem Vascular bundles Vascular tissuearrow_forwardWhen water enters the roots via ______A_______ is is pulled toward the leaf by _____B_______.

- Sudents are asked to pair a plant structure to its physiological function and give evidence for why that structure is important for the process they describe Anne: The root hairs are used to pull in sugars available in the soil that give the plant energy for growth and reproduction. Jamil: The phloem is needed for cellular respiration as it transports the carbon dioxide to the leaves in order to perform cellular respiration. Shantal: The cambium is important for phossynthesis because it allows water into the plant which is needed as a reactant for photosynthesis. Enrique The guard cells are needed during transpiration because they open and close to regulate the gases that enter and leave the plant.

A plant zygote with 3 sets of chromosomes is called a ___________ cell. In asexual plant reproduction, each new plant is called a ____________.

Make a sketch of the 40x leaf cross section and upload it here with the following structures labeled: upper epidermis, bulliform cells (large cells on upper leaf surface), stomate, guard cells, mesophyll, xylem, phloem, bundle sheath cells, lower epidermis MacBook Proarrow_forwardA mutation causes the vascular cambium in a plant to stop working. How does this impact cellular respiration? The stomata would remain open and release water vapor. The guard cells would remain closed and store water vapor. The leaves would not be able to release glucose for energy production. The xylem would not be able to transport water to the rest of the plant.arrow_forwardCotton plants wilt within a few hours of flooding of their roots. The flooding leads to low-oxygen conditions, increases in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration, and decreases in cytosolic pH. Suggest a hypothesis to explain how flooding leads to wilting.arrow_forward

Explain this phenomenon countermeasures by plant to address this issue.arrow_forwardAll of the protoplasm of one plant can be considered to be one continuous mass, called the ______________ _________________. Walls and intercellular spaces of a plant are called the ___________________________ of the plant.arrow_forwardUnlike the movement of water in the xylem, phloem sap movement is not defined by gravity. It can move upward and downward in the plant. During very hot weather, when the plant root is converting sugar to store as starch, state the role of root and leaves. Tidak seperti pergerakan air di dalam xilem, pergerakan sap floem tidak ditentukan oleh graviti. la boleh bergerak ke atas dan ke bawah dli dalam tumbuhan.
