Textbook Question
Chapter 36, Problem 3DA
Data analysis Comparative analyses of fossil and extant vascular plants reveal that the maximum diameter for a tracheid is 80 µm. Vessels, however, can reach diameters of up to 500 µm in diameter. How much more water could the largest vessels transport compared with the largest tracheids in the same amount of time? Your calculations are for an Ideal situation. In the context of a growing plant, what other factors would affect the rate of transport through the tracheids and vessels?

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.arrow_forwardDiagram 1: Cross Section of a leaf-cells and structures. cuticle -upper epidermis palisade layer chloroplasts vascular bundle spongy mesophyll -intercellular chamber -lower epidermis stoma A possible explanation to explain the presence of the stoma structure would be that it stores extra water the leaf does not need. allows a passageway for gasses to enter and exit the leaf makes sugar needed by the cells.

- Please help me and explain why the answer selected was wrong You have a bush in your backyard, and you want it to grow wider, so you cut the top. Why is this? Selected Answer: Trimming will disrupt vertical routes for the transport of water and sugars, and promotes the growth of lateral routes Answers: Trimming with promote additional growth in the cork cambium Trimming removes or damages the apical meristem, which results in the growth of axillary meristems Trimming promotes the production of more root nodules Trimming will disrupt vertical routes for the transport of water and sugars, and promotes the growth of lateral routesarrow_forwardIn xylem, the pressure potential is a negative number.

- Figure 30.34 Which of the following statements is false? Negative water potential draws water into the root hairs. Cohesion and adhesion draw water up the xylem. Transpiration draws water from the leaf. Negative water potential draws water into the root hairs. Cohesion and adhesion draw water up the phloem. Transpiration draws water from the leaf. Water potential decreases from the roots to the top of the plant. Water enters the plants through root hairs and exits through stoma.arrow_forwardWoody trunk of living trees was said to shrink and expand at different times of the day. Explain this phenomenon in relation to cohesion tension theory and discuss how would plant overcome embolism due to this theory.arrow_forwardXerophytes have adaptations such as having a waxy leaf cuticle that will make them survive in hot and dry environments. How does this adaptation help reduce water loss? * It increases the ability of the leaf cells to absorb water. NO answer It reduces the surface area for transpiration. It is impermeable to water, thus stops evaporation. It traps moist air, which increases the humidity and reduces the diffusion of water vapor.arrow_forward
