Questão Responda
HOW FLUID TRANSPORTS UP THE XYLEM Heat from the sun is a driving force for ascent of sap through plants Transpiration, cohesion & tension explain most water movement
Cohesion in the Xylem -Attraction (hydrogen bonds) between water molecules (WATER TO WATER) -column of water forms from roots to leaves
Adhesion / tension in the Xylem Attraction (hydrogen bond) between water and xylem cells
Transpiration (& evaporation) in the Xylem (& stoma) •Removes water from leaves •Continuously pulls up a column of water by bulk flow
1 of 6 Adaptations: Diploid Sporophyte •Diploid dominant generation of all plants are more apt to survive genetic damage •2 copies of each chromosome allow recessive mutation to be masked
2 of 6 Adaptations: Cuticle Waxy covering that reduces desiccation (drying out)
3 of 6 Adaptations: Vascular system •Phloem for food / sugar transport •Xylum / roots obtain water & anchor plant •Leaves & stems to support & maximize photosynthesis
4 of 6 Adaptations: Sperm Adapted •Primitive sperm was flagellated and needed water to swim to eggs •Advanced sperm (pollen) adapted for delivery by wind or animals
5 of 6 Adaptations: Gametophyte/Seeds Angiosperm - seed protected inside an ovary / produce flowers (apple) Gymosperm- Naked seeds with no ovary & no flower (pine cone)
6 of 6 Adaptations: Seasonal Variation Deciduous Trees – shed leaves during slow-growing seasons to minimize water loss Desert Annuals – produce seeds within brief growing seasons in response to spring rain
