Chapter 34.3, Problem 1SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
Important steps in the cohesion-tension mechanism of water in plants.
Introduction:
Plants require a system, in order to provide essential nutrients to their parts. There are different kinds of systems involved to ensure the movement of water and other components across a plant to regulate

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
