Textbook Question
Chapter 36, Problem 3DA
Data analysis Comparative analyses of fossil and extant vascular plants reveal that the maximum diameter for a tracheid is 80 µm. Vessels, however, can reach diameters of up to 500 µm in diameter. How much more water could the largest vessels transport compared with the largest tracheids in the same amount of time? Your calculations are for an Ideal situation. In the context of a growing plant, what other factors would affect the rate of transport through the tracheids and vessels?

Which of the following is true about the circulatory system(s) of a flowering plant?
Group of answer choices
The circulatory system is directly linked to gamete dispersal.
There is no effect of environmental humidity on the movement of water and ions.
The cells that transport water and ions are alive.
Transpiration relies on evaporation and the cohesion and adhesion of water.
There is a single system for the movement of water, ions and sugars.
Figure 2 shows the cross-section of a eudicot root.
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
Many leaves have a big, obvious vein that runs along their center, and many veins emerge from it. What is the large vein called (and can a leaf have more than one [look at as shown])? The smaller veins that emerge from it? What are the very smallest veins of a leaf called? Which veins supply water directly to mesophyll cells—the biggest veins or the smallest?

- Please answer the second questionarrow_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_forwardThe functions of vascular tissue in plants include (Check all that apply) Check All That Apply physical support of the plant physical support of the plant photosynthesis transport of water transport of water transport of minerals transport of minerals transport of organic compounds transport of organic compounds transport of gamete transport of gametesarrow_forward

- What are ways in which plants accomplish tissue-level transport?a. transmembrane transport of solutes from one cell to anotherb. symplastic transport of materials from one cell to another viaplasmodesmatac. apoplastic transport of water and dissolved solutes through cell wallsand intercellular spacesd. All of the above are used for tissue-level transport.e. None of the above are used for tissue-level transport.arrow_forwardPlease answer question 1arrow_forwardDiagram 1: Cross Section of a leaf-cells and structures. cuticle -upper epidermis palisade layer chloroplasts vascular bundle spongy mesophyll -intercellular chamber -lower epidermis stoma A possible explanation to explain the presence of the stoma structure would be that it stores extra water the leaf does not need. allows a passageway for gasses to enter and exit the leaf makes sugar needed by the cells.

- Please answer the third questionarrow_forwardCan you answer this questionarrow_forwardIn xylem, the pressure potential is a negative number. Why? What does the weight of the water have to do with this? Stolons, rhizomes, and horizontal vines do not have a problem with the weight of water. Why? In the epiphytic cactus Rhipsalis, the weight of water actually makes conduction easier. Why?arrow_forward
