water potential. Water’s potential energy in plants is a combination of (1) it’s tendency to move in response to differences in solute concentration and (2) the pressure exerted on it Plants do not expend energy to replace water that is lost to transpiration when stomata are open and photosynthesis is occurring. Instead‚ water moves from soil and roots to leaves long a water potential gradient. The gradient exists because water at the air0water surface in leaves in under negative pressure (tension)

water back to the earth? When cloud particles become too heavy to remain suspended in the air‚ they fall to the earth as precipitation. Precipitation occurs in a variety of forms; hail‚ rain‚ freezing rain‚ sleet or snow. * What is transpiration? Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts especially from leaves but also from stems and flowers. * What determines which plants grow where? His climate of a region determines what types

root than they are in the shoot. The major mechanism by which water (along with dissolved materials) is carried upward through the xylem is called TATC (Transpiration-Adhesion-Tension-Cohesion). It should be noted that TATC‚ while supported by most scientists‚ is speculated but not proven to be at work in very tall trees. In this theory‚ transpiration‚ the evaporation of water from the leaf‚ is theorized to create a pressure differential that pulls fluids (held together by cohesion) up from the roots

80-95% of the mass in plant tissues. Transpiration is the loss of water from plants in vapor form. 95% of the water is absorbed from the soil for transpiration and 5% is absorbed during photosynthesis for producing necessary carbohydrates for growth. The rate of transpiration is dependent on the amount of water in which is available within the plant‚ soil‚ and on sufficient energy to vaporize water. Hot‚ bright weather increases the rate of transpiration and creates risk for wilting if there

Tiffany Goh Biology SAC 3 “The Transport systems play an essential role in the survival of flowering plants and mammals” It is imperative that the organism’s cells have an ideal supply of the necessary materials to ensure its survival. At the same time‚ waste material must be removed to make room for the new material coming in and to avoid infection. Necessary substances and waste material merely move in and out of unicellular organisms by diffusion‚ osmosis or active transport due to direct

following reservoirs: atmosphere‚ oceans‚ lakes‚ rivers‚ glaciers‚ soils‚ snowfields‚ and groundwater. It moves from one reservoir to another by processes like: evaporation‚ condensation‚ precipitation‚ deposition‚ runoff‚ infiltration‚ sublimation‚ transpiration‚ and groundwater flow. Water is stored in the atmosphere in all three states of matter. Water vapour in the atmosphere is commonly referred to as humidity. If liquid and solid forms of water can overcome atmospheric updrafts they can fall to the

They act as an entry point for CO2 in photosynthesis and an exit point for water vapour from transpiration. * Guard cells contain chloroplast and have uneven thick walls. * Shape of guard cells differ in monocotyledons and dicotyledons‚ however the mechanism remains the same.

light intensity will be smaller compared to the size of the stomata on the dicot leaves exposed to lower light intensity. This is because at higher light intensity there is an increase in environmental temperature‚ which results to higher rates of transpiration; hence‚ in order to reduce water loss from the leaves‚ the stomata of the dicot leaves exposed to higher light intensity will have smaller stomata size.

Namee: Paul G. Zamora (Homework in Performance Techniques) Sound Waves- A sound wave is the pattern of disturbance caused by the movement of energy traveling through a medium (such as air‚ water‚ or any other liquid or solid matter) as it propagates away from the source of the sound. The source is some object that causes a vibration‚ such as a ringing telephone‚ or a person’s vocal chords. The vibration disturbs the particles in the surrounding medium; those particles disturb those next to them
