Deck 1 Flashcards
pterophytes are photosynthetic in which phases
gametophyte and sporophyte
water moves into the roots only if the soil’s water potential is less or greater
greater
cells have a blank water potential than fresh water soil
lower
what absorbs most of the plants water and provide great surface area
root hairs
what kind of fungi increase root surface area
mycorrhizae
what mineral does mycorrhizae help a plant uptake the most
phosphorus
xylem has a blank water potential than the root tissue
lower
water has blank strength which is why water can defy gravity in the xylem
tensile
water molecules blank to one another due to hydrogen bonds
cohere
water molecules blank to the walls of the xylem due to polarity
adhere
tensile strength of a water column varies blank with its diamater
inversely
what can break tensile strength
air bubble
xylem has a blank water potential than leaves
higher
water vapor leaves the leaf through the blank
stoma
the leaf has a blank water potential than the air
higher
what manages the rate of transpiration
guard cells
closing the stomata can control water loss on a blank basis because they must be open at some point to allow blank in
short term and co2
stomata close when
high temps or increased co2 concentrations
alternative photosynthetic pathways like cam blank transpiration
reduce
stomata opens when guard cells become
turgid
when solutes are pumped into guard cells it causes the water potential to blank
decrease
abscisic acid causes stomata to blank and causes water to blank because the water potentials blanks
close, move out, increases
water moves 1-4 in transpiration
into roots, up xylem, into mesophyll in leaves, evaporates through stoma
additional forces to move water other than transpiration
root pressure
