HOW FLUID TRANSPORTS UP THE XYLEM

Sun (binary/octet-stream)
|
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
Image:
Seed (binary/octet-stream)
|
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

Fall (binary/octet-stream)
|
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 |
