Q

Transpiration

A

Loss of water vapour by evaporation from surface of a plant through stoma
- Once stoma opens continuous stream of water rises through the plant.

Q

Vascular Plants gas exchange

A

Root hair with large surface area, absorbs water and nutrients
water is absorbed through Osmosis. allowing dissolved ions to b absorbed by diffusion
Force of water entering roots creates pressure

Q

Translocation

A

Active movement of soluble sugars (photosynthesis) through the phloem of vascular plants from source to sink
- Occurs in multidirectional
- Transported AGAINst concentration gradient
- active transport

Q

WHY DO PLANTS NOT NEED VENTILATION MECHANISM

A

Due to their leaves highly exposed to gases/air. This allows air/gases to be constantly replaced. And ALSO since CO2 isnt bad for them as it req for photosynthesis

Q

Stages OF heartbeat

A
  1. Heart muscles are relaxed and valves closed, allows blood to flow into atria
  2. Atria Contracts squeezing blood into ventricles (Atrioventricular valves close preventing backflow of blood
  3. Immediately ventricles contract and blood is squeezed again leading blood out of the heart
  4. Once ventricles are empty valves leading out the heart close and muscles relax
17
Q

Lub Dub explaination

A

The “lub” is caused by
the closing of the valves leading to the ventricles.

The “dub” is caused by
the closing of the valves
leading out of the heart

18
Q

Guard cells

A

Pair of cells which open and close stma to control exit and entry of gases and water
changes in water in guard cells causes them to change shape

19
Q

how do guard cells open

A

Guard cells swell with water becoming turgid which bends and draws the cells away from each other allowing gas exchange.

20
Q

How to guard cells CLose

A

When guard cells lack of water they become flaccid this causes them to close.

21
Q

Stoma

A

Tiny openings in the surface of a plant leaf through which gases can exit and enter

22
Q

Shoot System

A

Transport resources
Absorption of oxygen
reproduction
Carries out photosynthesis IN leaves

23
Q

Root System

A

Anchors plant
Absorbing water and nutrient from soils
Nutrients in for of dissolved Ions via diffusion.
