In the form of schematic diagram; briefly illustrate the process that occurs during the cohesion–tension theory of sap ascent is shown.
Make a simple HAND DRAWN sketch or flow diagram toillustrate the flow path of water through a plant, from the point of uptake from the soil totranspiration from the leaves. Ensure that you incorporate the following aspects in your sketch / diagram:• Water movement from the soil into the root, to the vascular tissues and the rest of theplant and into the atmosphere.• Label all the organs, tissues and structures involved in water uptake and transport.• Mention the mode of water movement (e.g. diffusion, osmosis, mass flow) whereapplicable along the symplastic and apoplastic pathways of water uptake and transport

- Which the following statement is FALSE:?a. Relative water content is not a very sensitive index because leaves can show strong responses to <2% change in RWCb. Relative water content is not a very sensitive index because it gives no information about the forces for water movementc. Relative water content is equal the ratio of the mass of water in a given leaf over the mass of water when that leaf was fully saturatedd.

- Imagine you have a plant with a water potential of -0.1 MPa in the root tissue. What would happen if you place the roots of this plant in a 0.1 M solution of sucrose (water potential is -0.23 MPa)? The net water flow would be from the tissue into the sucrose solution The net water flow would occur only as ATP was hydrolyzed in the tissue The net water flow would be from the sucrose solution into the tissue The net water flow would be in both directions and the concentration of water would remain equal The net water flow would be impossible to determine from the values given herearrow_forwardExplain the three different ways water is moved from the soil, through the cortex, and then forced into to the stele of a root.
