Design a simple experiment to illustrate transport in plants.
Examine the plant cell shown below, and answer the following questions about it.
A. Does the liquid surrounding this plant cell have a higher or lower concentration of water?
B. How can you tell?
Give two examples of 'compatible solutes' produced by plants and explain how they can be used by plants to increase salt tolerance. Then explain how they can also be important for permitting dormancy in seeds.
