Question
Chapter 36, Problem 2DA
Summary Introduction
To determine: The effect on the movement of water through the plant when the radius of the xylem vessel is increased threefold due to the occurrence of mutation.
Introduction: The movement of the water occurs through the xylem in plants due to the exertion of the osmotic pressure. Roots are the specialized structures of the plants, which facilitate water transport to the various parts of plants to perform the photosynthetic process to generate energy and oxygen.

i. Based on Figure 2, identify the structure that regulates the movement of water and minerals towards the xylem in the root.
ii. Name structure of the cell membrane allows it to act as a selective barrier?
iii. Predict what will happen to the transportation of water and minerals through the plasma membrane if the root was poisoned and no cellular respiration occurred.
When farmers apply too much fertilizer to the ground, the solute concentration is higher in the soil than it is in the roots. Explain how this would affect plants.
And place these structures in the order that water passes through them during transpiration: endodermis, root cortex, root hair, spongy mesophyll, stomata, and xylem.

- B. LEAF ADAPTATION The main function of the leaf is in the processes of photosynthesis and transpiration. Apart from these functions, leaf is sometimes adapted to perform other functions. Examples of leaf adaptations are for: a) Support, which could be seen by the presence of tendrils b) Catching insects, by having cup-liked shape of hairs sensitive to touch c) Reproduction, by having meristematic cells able to produce new shoots that will go on to become new individual plants d) Food and water storage, especially found in plants living in dry areas where water is scarce (for example succulent plants, having leaf storing food and water) e) Floatation, for plants living on the water surface, their leaves in general will have air openings on tissues (used for floating) usually found on leaf petiole f) Protection, by having leaves completely or partially modified as thorns Instruction: a) 1.
