Summary Introduction
To explain: The mechanism involved in the active transport of sugar into sieve-tube elements or companion cells and represents the side that is present inside the cell.
Introduction: Vascular plants are defined as land plants and it is otherwise referred to as tracheophytes. It forms a large plant group. The land plants have xylem which is lignified tissues that conduct minerals and water to all parts of the plant. The phloem, which is specialized non-lignified tissue, is also present in the vascular plant. The major function of phloem is to conduct the photosynthesis process.

Cell motility has been described as being like the motion of tank treads. At the leading edge, actin filaments form rapidly into bundles and networks that make protrusions and move the cell forward. At the rear, cell adhesions are broken and the tail end of the cell is brought forward. What provides the traction for moving cells? How does cell-body translocation happen? How are cell adhesions released as cells move forward?
What is the membrane potential? Is the outside of theplasma membrane positively or negatively chargedcompared with the inside?
Detection of external signals by plant cells often results in a transient rise in the concentration of Ca2+ ions in the cytoplasm. What transport processes can cause such an increase in cytoplasmic Ca2+, and what transport processes can remove the excess Ca2+ and restore the level of Ca2+ to its resting state?

- Identify: 1. A cell division characteristic of the Charophyta and higher plant marked by the breakdown of the nuclear envelope early in mitosis. 2. A cell division characteristic of the chlorophytes whereby nuclear envelope remains intact early in mitosis. 3. It refers to the parallel arrangement of microtubules relative to the plane of cell division during cytokinesis in the Chlorophyta. 4. It refers to the perpendicular arrangement of microtubules relative to the plane of cell division during cytokinesis in the Charophyta.arrow_forwardIn conditions of dehydration, plant cells can increase their water retention by regulating the function of some or all of their aquaporins, membrane-bound protein channels that allow water to move through the cell membrane via facilitated diffusion. Which of the following describes a likely mechanism by which aquaporins can be used to regulate the movement of water across the plant cell membrane? A B с D Synthesis of additional aquaporins by the plant cell ribosomes will allow the cell to coun- teract the movement of water out of the cell. Inhibition of ATP hydrolysis will make the aquaporins unable to remove water from the cell and cause more water to remain in the cell. Inactivation of aquaporins will make water molecules unable to move across the plant cell membrane and allow more water to remain in the cell. Inhibition of the plant cell Golgi apparatus will decrease the production rate of vesicles and slow down the exocytosis of water molecules.arrow_forwardAs glycolysis splits glucose into two pyruvate molecules, the link reaction occurs twice per molecule of glucose.

Explainarrow_forwardIn winter, plants exchange the saturated lipids in their membranes for unsaturated lipids. Unsaturated lipids are "bent" and keep the membranes more fluids because they cannot be stacked closlely together. Of what advantage would this be for herbaceous plants that live through the winter?
