Identifying Xylem & Phloem Xylem The functions of xylem tissue in a plant are: To transport dissolved minerals and water up the plant via vascular tissues Structural support Xylem tissue is fo...
Hydrostatic Pressure Gradients Phloem sap containing sucrose and other organic solutes moves through the sieve tubes down a hydrostatic pressure gradient This is known as the pressure-flow hypothes...
Sucrose Loading Mechanism Organic compounds such as sucrose are transported from source to sink through the phloem sieve tubes Sucrose is a disaccharide formed from a molecule of glucose and a mole...
Translocation Translocation is the biological term used to describe the transport of organic solutes in the phloem tissue The liquid that is being transported within the phloem can be referred to a...
Practical 7: Potometers & the Rate of Transpiration The effect of environmental factors on the rate of transpiration in plants can be measured using a piece of equipment called a potometer Note...
Drawing Xylem Vessels The internal structure of plants can be examined by taking transverse sections of different parts of a plant, including the leaves, stem and roots Note that cross sections can...
Adaptations of Xerophytes Plants that live in conditions with a plentiful supply of fresh water have leaves with a short diffusion distance through to the stomata and a large surface area provided ...
Active Transport of Minerals in the Roots Within a plant, mineral ions are dissolved in water and transported in the xylem vessels Mineral ions needed by plants include nitrates, phosphates, and po...
