b. reduce transpiration.
c. cause guard cells to shrink and stomata to open.
d. destroy cohesion of water molecules in the xylem.
e. increase evaporation from leaf mesophyll cells.

- Water potential is (a) the formation of a proton gradient across a cell membrane (b) the transport of a watery solution of sugar in phloem (c) the transport of water in both xylem and phloem (d) the removal of sucrose at the sink, causing water to move out of the sieve tubes (e) the free energy of water in a particular situationarrow_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_forwardWhen considering the loading and unloading of photosynthate from the phloem, which of the following is FALSE? Select one: a. Apoplastic phloem unloading enables the import of sugars against their concentration gradient into sink tissue. b.

In apoplastic loading, proton pumps create electrochemical gradients that can be used by symporter proteins to import sugars into the companion cell. d. All the statements are true. e. Symplastic loading relies on diffusion of the sugars through plasmodesmata from photosynthetic cells to the phloem cells.arrow_forward

- 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.
