21
Q

moves water and solutes from roots to leaves

A

xylem

22
Q

moves glucose and amino acid around the plant

A

phloem

23
Q

where is xylem and phloem found

A

vascular bundles

24
Q

cells in xylem and phloem

A

xylem - elongated dead cells
phloem - living cells

25
Q

evaporation of water from leaves and stem

A

transpiration

26
Q

transport of glucose and amino acids

A

translocation

27
Q

process of transpiration

A
  • water goes in the soil
  • passes through concentration gradient
  • root hairs
  • xylem
  • transports water from root, stem, then leaves
28
Q

process of translocation

A
  • glucose
  • converted to fructose
  • enters phloem as amino acids
  • transport around plant
29
Q

water is absorbed by root hairs by?

A

osmosis

30
Q

route where water moves without air resistance

A

apoplast route

31
Q

route where water is hindered by resistance

A

symplast route

32
Q

route where water moves in and out of cell vacuoles by osmosis

A

vacuolar route

33
Q

water movement in cortex (3 routes)

A
  • absorbed into the cell sap
  • absorbed into the cytoplasm
  • diffuses along cell wall
34
Q

a suction power

A

transpiration pull

35
Q

phloem tissues consists of two main types

A

sieve tubes and companion cells
