(4) a. Which one of the following process is responsible for carrying water to the leaves of a tall plant through xylem vessels : a. Transpiration pull b. Root pressure c. b. Absorption through roots Euron The reason for my answer is: a. Due to a force of moving water upward through xylem vessels b. Deficiency of water in the xylem C. Due to a upward pressure exerted by roots d. Removal of water from the leaves and fill that deficiency
According to the pressure-flow model, sugar is actively transported into phloem anda. enters xylem, where it is moved toward the leaves due to transpiration.b. creates pressure to move water toward the roots.c. is transported out of the leaves through stomata.d. water follows by osmosis, providing pressure that moves the water and sugar through the phloem.

3. Transport through the Phloem Identify the statement that would describe the identified parts of the diagram. Write the number on the spaces before each statement. Transpiration Movement of the phloem sap is bidirectional (may be up and down) depending to the location of sink cells. pulls water up xylem vessels. Source cell Sieve tube Companion cell Xylem Sucrose enters the phloem from the source cells through the companion cells. H,O H,0 Sucrose Sieve tube element Internal pressure differences drive the phloem sap along the sieve tube to sink cells. Sieve plate Sink cell Water transfers to the xylem by osmosis raising the pressure potential on the sieve tube. Sucro Sucrose is unloaded into sink cells ...and water moves back into the xylem by osmosis. increasing the water potential in the sieve tube.
Which of the following statements is/are false? A. Water is actively transported from source cells into companion cells. B. The transport of sucrose into the Osieve tube elements increases water potential in the phloem. C. The transport of water from the xylem into the phloem increases the O pressure which forces the sucrose water mixture down towards the sink. D. Transpiration cause the water to O move up to the leaves through the vessel elements. E. A and B F. B and C
i. Based on Figure 2, identify the structure that regulates the movement of water and minerals towards the xylem in the root. ii. Name structure of the cell membrane allows it to act as a selective barrier? iii. Predict what will happen to the transportation of water and minerals through the plasma membrane if the root was poisoned and no cellular respiration occurred.
(3) a. b. The characteristics of water molecules to maintain a continuous column of water is: a. Root pressure b. Transpiration C. d. Forces Cohesion - Addison The reason for my answer is because : a. Releasing water as water vapors b. A pressure excreted by root through root system C. Releasing water from tips of leaves as liquid d. Interaction among water molecules and adsorption of water molecules to walls of xylem vessels
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.
