Ankur upaadhyay gujarat board/combined science igcse.9998791839 india. Q.1 Explain transportation of water in plants. A.1 (1) Higher plants possess xylem which is associated with the transport of water. (2) Water absorbed by the root from the soil is transported to stem‚ branches‚ leaves and flowers. (3) The main structural components of the xylem responsible for the transport of water are tracheids and vessels. (4) As the root cells are directly in contact with soil‚they take up ions.due to this

Parts of plants Each part of a plant has a very important function. All plants produce flowers for the same reason: to make seeds so another plant can grow. Leaves: These are the parts of the plant where food is made by photosynthesis. Leaves take in carbon dioxide from the air‚ water from the soil‚ and energy from the sunlight. During photosynthesis‚ the leaves use light energy to change carbon dioxide and water into food. (sugar) Flowers: These are the reproductive parts of

EXERCISE 1: A BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO THE STUDY OF PLANT STRUCTURE Adonay‚ Jessa and Velos‚ Mary Angelie Biology Program‚ Sciences Cluster University of the Philippines Cebu Lahug‚ Cebu City‚ Philippines ABSTRACT Plants have essential requirements to survive like all other living being. Roots‚ stems‚ leaves‚ and flower serve to help them acquire or provide for these requirements. Plants exposed to different climates pose different arrangement in the structures’ tissues.

Energy is the currency of the universe = $ (work) * Energy budget= must be balanced Energy budget * Plants collect and process energy * Basic source SUN * Diffuse – need to collect a lot to get fixed energy * (sugar)- LEAVES = solar collector * Everything must be paid for and pay for itself over time Plants are sentient beings * Perceive environment and

Water and food is transported through the xylem. The water will eventually be transported to the leaf tissue while the phloem carries nutrients from the leaf tissue to the rest of the plant. This process is able to carry out due to bulk flow which happens because of turgor pressure. Water is eventually lost by a process known as transpiration‚ where water is evaporated

* Plants live in two difference environments at the same time: * * air - stem and leaves‚ surrounded by air and where light‚ CO2‚ and oxygen. * soil - roots‚ supplies water and nutrients. * Each part of the plant has a specific function: * * leaves - carry out photosynthesis. * roots - anchor the plant & absorb water and soil nutrients. * stems - support the leaves and transport materials to other plant parts. * What does the plant

Internal Structure Of A Plant PLANT CELL STRUCTURE Plant cells are classed as eukaryotes organisms‚ because they have a membrane enclosed nuclei and organelles. Here is a diagram of a plant cell;  Cytoplasm Most chemical reactions take place here. It helps the cell maintain it’s shape. Nucleus The nucleus has two main roles. Firstly it contains all the cells genetic information. Secondly it coordinates the cell’s activities‚ which include growth‚ intermediary metabolism‚ protein synthesis

hat are Plants and How did they Evolve: Plants are multicellular‚ photosynthetic organisms‚ adapted primarily for life on land. With a combination of both‚ underground and aboveground structures‚ plants have the ability to absorb water and mineral nutrients from soil while food production is also occurring through the process of photosynthesis. Scientists assume that plants where the cause of evolution‚ adapting from aquatic green algae 500 million years ago. Many essential adaptations would have

Water (H₂O) is a liquid at room temperature‚ and its unusual properties provide the basis of many biological processes and organisms. In humans water is the vital product of respiration (C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ = 6CO₂ + 6H₂O.) The importance of water being produced as a product of respiration is that water is a main component of the human body (a human body consists of 65% water)‚ and plays a key role in many biological processes that occur. Water in the body had a large effect on the movement of substances
