No walls between the cells so that water can move
The Walls are strengthened by lignin
92
How does water exit the leaf?
Via evaporation at the stomata
93
How are the stomata adapted ?
They are found on the bottom of the leaves, so they are less exposed to the Sun and there is less evaporation
94

Translocation
96

104
What do plants do during transpiration?
Move water from the roots to the leaves for photosynthesis in the xylem vessels
105
Glucose made in photosynthesis is…
Then moved to all cells in phloem vessels for respiration
106
The two stages of transpiration
Water is constantly lost from the leaves ( due to the evaporation due to heat and water loss from the stomata)
As water evaporates this creates concentration inside the air spaces of the leaf
107
Where is there more water in the leaves?
There is more water in the roots/at the base of the plant than in the leaves
108
How does water move in the leaves?
Water moves via osmosis from a high concentration in the roots to a lower one in the leaves through a partially permeable membrane
109
Equation for stomatal density
Average number of stomata/area of the microscopic field of veiw
110
Factors affecting transpiration
An increase in temperature increases the rate of transpiration ( because it increasing temperature increases the rate of evaporation from the stomata so more water is lost from the plant)
An increase in wind speed increases the rate of transpiration because the wind removes more water vapour from the surface therefore increasing the rate of evaporation from the stomata
An increase in light intensity increases the rate of transpiration because the stomata open wider to allow more carbon dioxide into the leaf for photosynthesis which increases the rate of an evaporation from the stomata.
An increase in humidity decreases the rate of transpiration because moist air surrounds the stomata which decreases the rate of evaporation so less water is from the plant
111
What is a potometer used for?
To measure the uptake of water by a plant
112
Ionic bonds are formed when…
Metals and nonmetals react together
113
Ionic bonding is …
The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions
114

Atoms that lose an electron and become a positive ion
116
Anions
Atoms that gain an electron and become negatively charged
117
Covalent bond
When non metals metals react together, they need to gain electrons to fill their shell becomes stable so they share electrons
118
Metallic bonding
Positive metal ions surrounded by a sea of delocalised electrons that can carry a charge
When metals are bonded together by giant structures that contain many atoms chemically joined together
There is a strong electrostatic force of attraction between the positive metal ion and the delocalised electrons
119
Metallic bonding
Positive metal ions surrounded by a sea of delocalised electrons that can carry a charge
Well, metals are bonded together by giant structures that contain many atoms chemically joined together
There is a strong electrostatic force of attraction between the positive metal ion and the delocalised electrons
120
Properties of metals
Good conductors of heat, good conductors of electricity, sonorous, ductile, malleable
121
Why are metals good conductors?
The delocalised electrons can conduct electricity and heat .as they are free to move they can then pass this on throughout the metal.
122
Why do metals have high melting/boiling points?
Due to electrostatic forces of attraction between the positive metal ion and the delocalised electrons lots of energy is required to break these bonds ensuring that metals have high melting and boiling points
123
Why are metals malleable?
The layers of atoms in a metal can slide over each other because of delocalised electrons
124
Covenant bonds melting points
Covalent bonds have low boiling and melting points. As there are weak forces between the molecules which are easy to overcome
125
Ionic structures mp /bp
Have high melting and boiling points is it requires lots of energy to break up the strong electrostatic forces between the positive positive and negative ions
126
metallic structures mp/bp
Have high melting and boiling points requires lots of energy to break up the strong electrostatic forces between the positive metal ions and the delocalised electrons
127
metallic structures mp/bp
Have high melting and boiling points requires lots of energy to break up the strong electrostatic forces between the positive metal ions and the delocalised electrons
