- Choose the statements that apply to transpiration in the cohesion-tension theory. (Check all that apply) Check All That Apply The H-bonds in water allow for cohesion. Water pressure builds in roots to drive water up the plant. Exposed water in leaves evaporates into drier air. Water forms a continuous stream from leaf into the root. In addition to water, heat is lost cooling the plant during transpiration.arrow_forwardIf the tension in the xylem vessel becomes too great, gas bubbles will form. Explain this phenomenon countermeasures by plant to address this issue.arrow_forwardThere are four (4) types of water movement in plants. Provide three (3) types of water movement. *arrow_forward
- Write in the boxes on the image to describe the events that are occurring in each step of xylem transport. Be sure to use the terms: transpiration, tension, cohesion, osmosis, and stomata.arrow_forwardWhich plant structure contains the plant embryo, a food supply, and a protective covering? ANSWER CHOICE ARE IN THE PHOTO. thanks.arrow_forwardThe stomata are tiny openings in leaves that, when open, allow water to evaporate. In what circumstances do you expect that stomata to be closed?arrow_forward
- Consider the pressure flow model of phloem transport. How do sugars and water enter the phloem from the source? How do sugars and water move from one phloem cell to another?arrow_forwardWhen 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. -Thank you!arrow_forwardstudents are asked to pair a plant structure to its physiological function and give evidence for why that structure is important for the process they describe Anne The root hairs are used to pull in sugars available in the soil that give the plant energy for growth and reproduction Jamil : The phloem is needed for cellular respiration as transports the carbon dioxide the leaves in order to perform cellular respiration Shantal The cambium is important for photosynthesis because it allows water into the plant is needed as a reactant for photosynthesis Enrique The guard cells are needed during transpiration because they open and close to regulate the gases that enter and leave the plant student correctly described a plant structure and its physiological function?arrow_forward
- How is the movement of water through the xylem different from the movement of food through the phloem in the stem? What is the significance of transpiration in plants? Why do plants transpire?arrow_forwardDescribe how the water potential of a leaf changes throughout the course of a 24-hour period. What is driving this change? How does the water potential of this leaf compare to the water potential of a root in the same plant during the same period? How does it compare to the soil underneath the plant? Please fast and properly explain.arrow_forwardA Vhet do we call the structures found on the root epidermis that increase the plant's capacity absorb water? d) Briefly explain how the structures you mentioned in c) increase the plant's capacity to absort water. e) Complete the table below: Transport method for water Transport method for (passive / active?)
