movement of water up a narrow tube/ pulls water up to minimize air-water interface

does transpiration power the pressure-flow hypothesis? how?

no, turgor pressure in phloem near source tissues and turgor pressure in the phloem near sink tissues generate the necessary force

not present

How do sources supply sinks, location-wise?

on the same side of the plant(left/right) , and same end (root/ apical meristems)

Adhesion in leaves

opposes gravity

adhesion in stems

opposes gravity

sieve-tube elements

water doesn't flow freely inbetween the particles, so the tension lowers the water potential of the soil water.

_ measure of the tendency of water to move down its potential energy gradient and is expressed as megapascals (MPa)

water potential

cohesion

water sticks strongly to eachother and pulled easily by adhesion

Steps of cohesion-tension

water vapor diffuses out of the leaf, and water evaporates inside the leaf too. water is pulled out of the xylem from that, and pulled up the water which is all connected to each other in the xylem Water is pulled out of the root cortex from that, which pulls water from the soil to the root.

Which of the following plant organs may act as a source for translocation of sugars inside a plant? See Section 35.4 ( page 739) .

Mature leaves photosynthesize, manufacturing sugars.

Which of these are symbiotic associations (w root hairs)

Mycorrhizae are mutualistic associations of roots and fungi.

_____ provide(s) the major force for the movement of water and solutes from roots to leaves.

Transpiration, the evaporation of water from leaves, exerts a pull that bears the primary responsibility for the movement of water and solutes from roots to leaves.

High light intensity _ xylem pressure

Decreases

Where do the sieve tube elements communicate with companions?

Plasmodesmata

transpiration rate when the stomata close

decrease when stomata close

Alive; lack

In roots the _____ forces water and solutes to pass through the plasma membranes of _____ cells before entering the _____.

Casparian strip ... endodermis ... xylem. The Casparian strip is a waterproof barrier that forces water and solutes to pass through the plasma membranes of endodermis cells.

Surface tension in leaves

Generates pull

_____ cells are the cells that regulate the opening and closing of stomata, thus playing a role in regulating transpiration.

Guard

_____ bonds are responsible for the cohesion of water molecules.

Hydrogen bonds among water molecules are responsible for the tendency of those molecules to stick together.

Solute potential of irrigated water before and after a long hot day of evaporation

Irrigation water contains low concentrations of salts, so the solute potential will be near zero. As water evaporates, salts remain in the soil, lowering the solute potential.

According to the pressure-flow hypothesis, what mechanism causes the movement of phloem sap from sources to sink tissues? See Section 35.4 ( page 739) .

Pressure potential differences between source and sink. These differences cause a flow of sugars in the phloem.

Label each target to indicate if the interaction between the molecules inside the rectangle contributes to surface tension (T), adhesion (A), or cohesion (C). Note that one target should be left blank because the molecules inside that rectangle are not involved in any of these interactions.

Surface tension most commonly occurs at air-water interfaces, where it resists breakage of the surface. Hydrogen bonds tend to pull water molecules at the surface together, reducing the curvature of the surface. Cohesion tends to keep water molecules that are away from surfaces from separating. Adhesion makes water stick to hydrophilic surfaces, such as cell walls. a. T, b. T, c. C d. N/A e. C f. A g. A

what if a plant couldn't develop the casparian strip?

The plant would not be able to exclude toxic solutes from the xylem, since water would not be forced through living cytoplasm of endodermal cells on its way to the xylem.

Imagine a plant without phloem. For sugars to move from one region of the plant to another, what must happen? See Section 35.4 ( page 739) .

The sugars would be actively transported from cell to cell. ATP-mediated protein transport is still possible.

Tension

When pressure is negative. Draws liquid up through straw.

salt adapted species

accumulate solutes in their root cells, to lower their solute potential. have enzymes to increase the concentration of organic molecules in the cytoplasm, to keep the water potential of their tissues lower than the salty soils in order to absorb whatever water is available.

A pressure gradient is generated by the _ transport of sugars into _ in source tissues, coupled with the transport of sucrose out of _ elements at sink tissues.

active;seive-tube;seive-tube

meniscus

During the growing season, what are the sinks?

apical meristems, lateral meristems, developing flowers, seeds and fruits, and storage cells .

porous cell wall movement but needs to go through the cytoplasm of the endodermal cell to move to the xylem

Water's properties of surface tension, cohesion, and adhesion are central to the ability of transpiration to pull water up from the roots to the leaves through the xylem. Sort each statement into the appropriate bin to indicate if the change described in the statement would increase, decrease, or not affect the pull that transpiration generates in the xylem of a tree.

stomata are open and the air outside the leaves are drier than the air inside the leaves

early growing season source

storage cells in roots and stems

C4

take CO2 and fix it, store it in bundle-sheath cells, when the calvin cycle operates. so it never really fully opens its stomata

why does water flow from the xylem to the phloem at high sucrose concentrations?

the phloem has a low solute potential, much higher than just water alone, so it moves over across the selectively permeable membrane to sieve tubes, which makes turgor pressure build.

transpiration creates tension (straw sucks) from roots to leaves, what "charges" this?

the sun/ solar powered

dry species coping

the water potential drops because of solute potential dropping below the soil's water potential

how is the small tension at the meniscus enough to pull so much water, steep enough to overcome gravity?

there are many leaves pulling and many menisci
