Transport in Plants
Biology Solutions from Chapter -1 - Transport in Plants
This chapter describes the different transportation processes within plant cells. This includes active transport, passive transport, diffusion, and osmosis. We will learn how these processes help plants to transport nutrients throughout the body.
Practice Other Topics from Transport in Plants
This topic sheds light on the process of transportation in plants. We will study the two transport system in plants, which are the xylem and phloem. It also briefs on different means of transportation.
This topic describes the means of transport. It describes the process diffusion in plant body, its importance in plants, factors which are affecting the rate of diffusion, active transport system and comparison between different transport processes.
This topic describes the plant-water relation by discussing the concept of water potential, osmosis, plasmolysis and imbibition. Each process and its significance is explained here in detail.
The topic focuses on the availability of water in the soil. It discusses the importance of water for the soil and the significance of imbibition. We will also learn about water potential in detail here.
This topic sheds light on the mechanism of water absorption in plants and the two types of absorption. It briefs on the movement of water in the apoplast and symplast pathway. We will also study the external factors affecting water absorption in plants.
In this topic, we will learn the long distance transport of water. This transport of water from roots to leaves occurs by bulk flow; bulk flow moves the whole solution, water and minerals, any other solutes dissolved in the water.
This topic describes transpiration. It explains the process of transpiration which occurs through the stomata, the transpiration driven ascent xylem sap depends on the properties of cohesion, adhesion and surface tension.
In this topic, we will learn about stomata and their significant features. It discusses the structure and functions of stomata with the aid of diagrams.
This topic describes uptake and transport of mineral nutrients. It describes the uptake and transport of minerals which are done by the two methods - active absorption and passive absorption.
This topic focuses on the transportation of solutes in plants. It briefs on the process of transportation and translocation. It also discusses the direction of transportation with the aid of diagrams.
