  1. Plant transport Chapter 36

  2. Plant transport • Evolutionary changes • Roots, Leaves, Stems • Water • Carbohydrates • Minerals • Light energy • CO2 • O2

  3. Water transport • Roots • Xylem • Stomata • Transpiration • Cohesion & adhesion

  4. Water transport • Flaccid: • Limp • Water loss • Plasmolysis: • Cell membrane pulls away from cell wall • Due to water loss

  5. Water transport • Turgid: • Firm • Water gain • Healthier plant

  6. Water transport • Cell to cell (short distance) • Diffusion • Apolplast: • Continuum formed by cell walls • Symplast: • Continuum formed by cytoplasm of cells • Plasmodesmata: • Connection between cytoplasm

  7. Cell wall Apoplastic route Cytosol Symplastic route Transmembrane route Key Plasmodesma Apoplast Plasma membrane Symplast

  8. Water transport • Root hairs absorb water & minerals • Diffuse into apoplast or symplast • Pass through cortex • Endodermis (inner lining of cortex) • Casparian strip (waxy substance) • Controls flow water/ions to xylem • Forces flow to pass cell membrane

  9. Casparian strip Plasmamembrane Apoplasticroute Vessels(xylem) Symplasticroute Roothair Epidermis Stele(vascularcylinder) Endodermis Cortex

  10. Xylem • Movement based on bulk transport • Transpiration: • Negative pressure • Root pressure: • Positive pressure • Upward push of water/ions in xylem • Solar powered

  11. Xylem • Guttation: • Loss of liquid through leaves • Ends of leaves • Increased root pressure

  12. Stomata • H2O loss • CO2 intake

  13. Guard cells • Opening & closing of the stomata • Dependent on turgor pressure of guard cells • Thicker inner cell layer • Causes bowing of the cell when turgid • Opens the stomata

  14. Guard cells • Active K+ pump • Increased K+ in the guard cells • Increase in H2O in the guard cells • Turgid • Stomata opens • Decreased K+ leads to decreased H2O • Flaccid, stomata closes

  15. Translocation of Phloem Sap in Spring

  16. Translocation of Phloem Sap in Summer

  17. Carbohydrate movement • Phloem (sieve-tube) • Moves from source to nearest sink • Carbohydrates enter sieve-tube cells • Active transport • Companion cells & parenchyma cells provide the ATP

  18. Phloem

  19. Carbohydrate movement • Water potential differences-created • Water moves into the sieve-tube cells (osmosis) • Increased turgor • Moves carbohydrates to sink

  20. Carbohydrate movement • Carbohydrates removed • Active transport • Water moves out (osmosis) • Water diffuses back to xylem • Or lost in transpiration
