Q1.1 Why do plants need a transport system?
• To transport – Water and mineral salts from the
roots to the leaves– Dissolved food substances (sucrose,
amino acids) from leaves to other parts of the plant

D. DETAILS OF WATER TRANSPORT PATHWAY
Chapter 9
![Page 35: Transport of Materials in Flowering Plants + Trans Location](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070305/54f96e524a7959ae368b4af0/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
D. Q15. What is root pressure?
• Pressure of water exerted in the xylem vessel
![Page 36: Transport of Materials in Flowering Plants + Trans Location](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070305/54f96e524a7959ae368b4af0/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Q 16. What causes root pressure?
• Mineral ions are actively transported to the xylem
• Decrease in water potential in the xylem vessel
• Thus more water is drawn into the xylem vessel
• Water pressure in the root rises
• Root pressure pushes water and dissolved mineral ions up the xylem
![Page 37: Transport of Materials in Flowering Plants + Trans Location](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070305/54f96e524a7959ae368b4af0/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Properties of water
Adhesion of the water for the glass allows the water to move up the wall of the cylinder just a little above the level of the water in the center of the cylinder
Cohesion of water molecules cause the gradual curve observed
![Page 38: Transport of Materials in Flowering Plants + Trans Location](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070305/54f96e524a7959ae368b4af0/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
• The water is adhering to the beads, but cohesion keeps a strand of water between the beads. As the gap widens, the strand of water gets narrower until it eventually breaks because cohesion of the water is not strong enough to pull the water together over wide distances
• This is essentially why water moves up farther into smaller capillary tubes. There is less mass of water in a small capillary and the cohesion of water can hold a longer water column
![Page 39: Transport of Materials in Flowering Plants + Trans Location](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070305/54f96e524a7959ae368b4af0/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Q 17. What is capillary action?
• Strong cohesive force between water molecules in a fine xylem vessel
• Strong adhesion of water to the xylem vessel walls
• Allows a thin column of water to be pulled up without breaking

Q 18. What is transpiration pull?
• A suction force exerted as a result of transpiration
• Causes a long, thin and continuous column of water to be pulled from the roots to the top of a tallest tree

Advantages
• When the leaf folds up, the surface area that is exposed to sunlight is reduced, causing the guard cells to become flaccid.
• The stomata close and the rate of transpiration is decreased.
Disadvantages
•Amount of carbon dioxide entering is reduced. Carbon dioxide becomes a limiting factor, rate of photosynthesis.
•The rate of photosynthesis is also reduced because water becomes a limiting factor.
• Transpiration pull draws water & mineral salts from roots to the stems & leaves.
• Evaporation of water from the cells in the leaves removes latent heat of vaporization and cools the plant.
•Water transported to the leaves can be used to:
- in the photosynthesis; - to keep cells turgid- to replace water lost by the cellTurgid cells keep the leaves spread out widely to trap sunlight for photosynthesis.

Q30. What is Translocation?
• The transport of manufactured food substances such as sugar and amino acids in plants.
![Page 62: Transport of Materials in Flowering Plants + Trans Location](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070305/54f96e524a7959ae368b4af0/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Aphids ‘Ringing’ Isotopes
• Aphids feed on plant juices
• Proboscis (long mouth par) of aphid penetrated leaf or stem.
• Aphid is anaesthetised while feeding, body cut off leaving the proboscis in plant tissues.
• Liquid exuded from the cut end of proboscis is then analyzed.
• 3 twigs are used.
• Complete ring of bark is removed (phloem and cambium parts) from main stem of 2 twigs only leaving the xylem exposed at different position of the stem.
• The exposed region of the first twig is submerged in water while the other is above the water level.
• The third twig which is unringed acts as a control.
• The setup is then observed daily for occurrences of roots/swellings for the next few days.
• Carbon-14 (14C) radio active isotope can be detected by X-ray.
• A leaf is provided with radioactive carbon dioxide (14CO2)
• The plant is allowed to photosynthesize. The Carbon-14 isotope would be incorporated in the sugars formed.
• After a few days, the stem/leaf is cut and a section of it exposed onto an X-ray photographic film to observe for presence of radioactive substances.

Learning Objectives
(a) Identify& explain functions of xylem & phloem vessels
(b) Relate the structure to functions of root hairs
(c) Explain movement of water between plant cells, and between plant and the environment (water potential)
(d) Outline the water transport pathway
(e) Define transpiration & explain how it occurs as a consequence of gaseous exchange
(f) Describe effects of varying air movement, temperature, humidity and light intensity on transpiration rate
(g) Describe how wilting occurs
(h) Define translocation as the transport of food in the phloem tissue and illustrate the process through translocation studies
(i) Apply the knowledge gained in this session.

3. Water flows across cortex down a water potential gradient across root section.
1. Phloem translocates sucrose and amino acids from leaves to other parts of the plant, including the roots.
2. The sap in the root hair cell has lower water potential than the soil solution.Water enters the root hair by osmosis and dissolved mineral salts by active transport.
4. Xylem conducts water and mineral salts upwards, from roots to leaves.
Thick lignified walls prevent collapse of xylem vessels.
5. In the leaves, Water movement by osmosis to the cells adjacent to air spaces.
Water evaporates from surface of mesophyll cells into the intercellular air space.
