Concept explainers
To determine: The mechanism through which water and dissolved minerals move through the symplast.
Introduction: The underground branching root systems are often more extensive than aerial part of plant. The extension of root depth and spread of a plant differ for another plant species and it also varies among individuals of same species. For the survival of plant, firm anchorage is essential so that the stem remains upright that enable leaves to absorb sunlight efficiently. The roots absorb water and dissolved minerals. The dissolved minerals are transported from roots to the leaves throughout the plant in the xylem.

At various times after exposure, the scientist candetermine the location of the radioactive carbon in the plant. In whattissues would you expect to find the radioactive material immediatelyafter exposure to the labeled carbon? What about during transport?When transport is complete, will the radioactive material be in plantparts above the leaf, below the leaf, or both?arrow_forwardThe rigidity of a plant as compared to an animal is owed to a plant cell's: A Cytoskeleton Cell wall c) Chloroplast Cell membranearrow_forward
