Summary Introduction
Introduction:
NO3− (nitrate) is an anion that enters root hairs with the help of membrane transport proteins called cotransporters, carrying two solutes at once. It works as a symporter in this case and brings NO3− (nitrate) into the cell with the help of protons. Both the solutes move in the same direction.

- When absorption of water by the roots fails to keep up with the rate of transpiration, gain in turgor occurs, and the stomata close. A. Agree, because the transpiration occurs faster than root absorption. D. Disagree, because the condition should be when root absorption is able to keep up with transpiration, then stomates close. B. Disagree, because under this condition, the turgor pressure decreases and the stomates close. C. Agree, because increase in turgor pressure under this condition, closes the stomates.arrow_forwardThe structure of the C4 leaf shows a. how mesophyll cells hug the epidermis of the leaf. hug the bundle sheath cells. b.

A new herbicide targets the function of guard cells and prevents them from becoming flaccid and closing the stomata. What effect would the herbicide have on plants? a.Plants would dry out because guard cells protect the epidermis against desiccation. b.Plants would be eaten because guard cells protect leaves against herbivores. c. Plants would dry out because stomata would not be able to close. d.lt would regulate the intake of minerals in the plants.arrow_forward
