TRANSPORT AND CIRCULATION Flashcards
Structuures that deliver water and substances throughout the plant body
TRANSPORT
What does Cardiovascular System consists?
Heart, blood vessels and blood
It carries food nutrients such as sugar and amuno acids FROM LEAVES TO STORAGE ORGANS AND GROWINGPART OF PLANTS
-movement (BIDIRECTIONAL)
PHLOEM VESSEL
Movement from leaves to strorage organs and growing parts of plant
TRANSLOCATION
- Carries water and mineral transport from ROOTS TO AERIAL PARTS OF PLANT
- one way ( Moves up the stem )
XYLEM VESSEL
Movement of H20 from low to high concentration
OSMOSIS
What are the fluid regulations in plants?
OSMOSIS
TRANSPIRATION
ADHESION-COHESION PROPERTY OF WATER
CAPILARY ACTION
- pulls the water up the bodies of plants to travel to its parts.
- As the H20 evaporates, the negative pressure created, exerts a pulling force that pulls the water upwards
TRANSPIRATION
- Allows H20 to move up to the plant
- as the water gets inside the xylem, it clings to the xylem tissue ( ADHESION occurs) and at the same time the water molecules stick to one another ( COHESION - Hydrogen Bonds). Forming huge water chain
ADHESION- COHESION PROPERTY OF WATER
How does adhesion occur in ADHESION- COHESION PROPERTY OF WATER?
When the water gets inside the xylem and clings to the xylem tissue
Movement of liquid across a solid surface which is caused by adhesion. The H20 climb up to its own because the adhere to the surface of the xylem tubes
CAPILLARY ACTION
- Marine Invertebrates matches the high level of solute concentration (urea) in the sea to tge high concentration of solute in their blood for them to survive
- excretes chloride and sodium at MINIMAL RATE
AQUATIC ANIMALS
- Their body is hypertonic as compared to their environment; water diffuse into the body of the fish
- excretes LARGE AMOUNT OF SODIUM AND CHLORIDE
FRESHWATER VERTEBRATES
Their body fluids is regulated by EXCRETORY SYSTEM
- to reduce water loss, they live in mosit environment, develop impermeable covering and produced concentrated urine
TERRESTRIAL ANIMALS
