Chapter 34, Problem 6TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Stomata are the tiny pores that function for the exchange of gases. When stomata are open, carbon dioxide is absorbed and oxygen is released. The stomatal opening is flanked by the guard cells. The guard cells have elastic cell walls that help in regulating the opening and closing of the stomata.

The cytoplasm will shrink and plasmolysis will occur b. Net water movement will be into the plant cell c. Lysosomes will remove the excess water, protecting the cell d. No net water movement will occur e. The plant cell will break open (lyse)arrow_forwardIn 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_forward
- The pathogenic fungus Fusicoccum amygdali secretes atoxin called fusicoccin that activates the plasma membrane proton pumps of plant cells and leads to uncontrolled water loss. Suggest a mechanism by which theactivation of proton pumps could lead to severe wilting.arrow_forwardWhat is the biological function of SOS in plants? Select one: a. it is a calcium antiporter b. it is a sodium transporter c. it alleviates stress by seeking help during drought d. it improves calcium nutrition in plants e. it promotes salt sensitivityarrow_forwardImagine 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_forward
- After sucrose enters sieve tubes,a. it is removed by the source.b. water follows passively by osmosis.c. it is driven by active transport to the source, which is usuallythe roots.d. stomata open so that water flows to the leaves.e. All of these are correct.arrow_forwardWater 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.arrow_forwardIn a comparison of the water potential and turgor pressure of leaf cells before and after wilting, which of the following would you expect to find? Select one: a. Water potential: wilted = not wilted; Turgor Pressure: wilted < not wilted b. Water potential: wilted > not wilted; Turgor Pressure: wilted < not wilted c. Water potential: wilted < not wilted; Turgor Pressure: wilted > not wilted d. Water potential: wilted < not wilted; Turgor Pressure: wilted < not wilted e. Water potential: wilted > not wilted; Turgor Pressure: wilted > not wiltedarrow_forward
