Water potential
The potential energy of water compared to pure (0 is highest)
Predicts movement
High to low
Equal to pressure potential
Variable water potential
Solution concentration
Pressure potential
Macronutrients
Large amounts
Required complete life cycle
Build proteins, Na, Organic molecules
Micronutrients
Small quantities
Catlyze reactions
Molecule Pathways in Plants
Symplastic - inside membrane
Apoplastic - cell wall extracellular space
Transmembrane - out of the cell into a new cell
Fungi and Bacteria assist.
N2 - ammonia
Increase surface area of nutrient uptake
Transpiration - Tension - Cohesion model
Transpiration - water leaves through the leaves’ stomata causing a decrease in pressure in that area (high to low)
Tension - causes the water to be pulled up toward the lower area
Cohesion - water sticks to itself, causing one module to drag the other
Stomata open/close
Guard cells become turgid due to water uptake and cannot move, so they bend outward (open). Open = gas exchange and loss of water
Guard cells deflate once water realses (flaccid). This causes them to bend back inward (close). Close = prevention of water loss
C3
Normal photosynthesis Calvin and Carbon fixation
C4
Separate the Carbon fixation and the light-dependent reactions.
Cam
Stomata opens night / close day. - temporal reactions
Pressure flow model
Sugar collected at source (leaves)
Uptake in water creates osmotic pressure (bringing on water) (Sucrose + H20)
the pressure pushes the sap downward
sugar is then take out of water by cells and stored in sinks (Sucrose)
