Fill in the blanks in this concept map to help you tie together key concepts concerning transport in plants.
To create: The concept map that depicts transportation in plant.
Introduction: Angiosperms are the most developed group in the plant kingdom. They comprise the root system, root hairs, shoot system, leaves, petioles, blades, stems, nodes, internodes, and flower. They are seed-bearing plants that are covered.
Explanation of Solution
Pictorial representation: Fig: 1 shows a complete concept map of transport in plants.
Figure 1: The concept map depicting the concept in transport in plants.
(a)
Correct answer: Roots.
Roots are the part of the root system that helps in uptake of water and minerals from the surrounding to the shoot system. Hence, the correct answer is roots.
(b)
Correct answer: Xylem.
Xylem is the vascular bundles present in the inner region of the stem that sends water and minerals through them to the rest of the plant body. Hence, the correct answer is xylem.
(c)
Correct answer: Sugar source.
Sugar source is the leaves where, by the process of photosynthesis, the sugar is made. Hence, the correct answer is sugar source.
(d)
Correct answer: Phloem.
Phloem is a type of vascular bundle through which the sugar sources are transported to the rest of the plant body. Hence, the correct answer is phloem.
(e)
Correct answer: Transpiration.
It is the process of loss of water from the plant through the leaves. This helps in maintaining the osmotic balance. Hence, the correct answer is transpiration.
(f)
Correct answer: Sugar sinks.
It is the region where the prepared sugar is stored till the plant is in requirement of energy. When such a situation arises, the plant supplies the sugar from these stored regions. Hence, the correct answer is sugar sinks.

- In farming communities, there is a concern that over irrigation can leech nutrients out of the soil, flood a farm area, and add salt to the soil in a process called salinization. The overall negative results are that some plants cannot germinate (grow from seed) and other adult or growing plants will die. Explain what is happening on the cell level, in regards to transport across the cell membrane, why seeds might not germinate, and why adult plants might die.arrow_forwardExplain 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 explanationarrow_forwardFigure 4 shows an open stoma during a gaseous exchange process in a plant. Elaborate the gaseous exchange process in plants with considering the influence of Y to the turgidity of guard cells.arrow_forward
- If a human lacks a protein like laminin in the ECM, this results in serious deformity. Why don’t plants have this problem? Select one: a. Plants have an excess of laminin so their ECM is well linked. b. Plants do have connection problems due to proteins missing in their ECM. c. Plants have fibronectin to replace laminin and maintain cell wall connections. d. Plants do not have an ECM and are joined by the middle lamella between their cell wallsarrow_forwardWhat among the following would happen to plant exposed to toxin that made thylakoid membranes permeable to protons? a reverasal of proton gradient across thylakoid membrans would result in higher pH in thylakoid lumen than the surrounding stroma reduction of NADP+ inthe chloroplasts would no longer be possible the proton gradient across the ehylakoid membrane woudl be eliminated the transport of electrons by the protein complexes int eh thylakoids would be prevented.arrow_forwardWhat 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_forward
- The electrochemical gradient is __________________. A. The total chemical potential gradient B. The total electrical potential gradient C. All the above Water and mineral nutrients are transported from root to shoot via __________________ A. Plasmodesmata B. Xylem C. Phloem D. Cell wallarrow_forwardDirection: Explain the following in paragraph form consists of at least five sentences Stomates must be open for evaporation to occur. Going back to the last lesson, how plant transport and gas exchange happens?arrow_forwardImagine a cell with a water potential of –0.1 MPa being placed in a beaker of solution that also has a water potential of –0.1 MPa. Are the two water potentials in equilibrium? Would any water molecules be moving between the cell and the solution? Would there be a net movement of water? Now imagine a root in moist soil, and imagine that the root cortex cells have a water potential of –0.1 MPa and that the soil solution also has a water potential of –0.1 MPa. Would there be any net movement of water into the root?arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements is are TRUE? Ca pathway involves a single C02 fixation step. In CAM plants. stomata are open during day time. Chlorophyll pigments absorb maximum light in the green wavelength. Reaction center of PSI is P700arrow_forwardDetection of external signals by plant cells often results in a transient rise in the concentration of Ca2+ ions in the cytoplasm. What transport processes can cause such an increase in cytoplasmic Ca2+, and what transport processes can remove the excess Ca2+ and restore the level of Ca2+ to its resting state?arrow_forwardIf I were to make a transport molecule for plants, what would be the best characteristics that should be part of it?arrow_forward
