Transport System in Plants (4)

Effect of air movement on the rate of transpiration

Increase in air movement increases the rate of transpiration

Effect of temperature on the rate of transpiration

Increase in temperature increases the rate of transpiration

Importance of transpiration

Facilitates the transportation of water and mineral salts in plants

Function of xylem

Transports water and dissolved mineral salts from the roots to leaves through the leaves through the stem to carry out photosynthesis and to replace water lost during transpiration

Function of phloem

Transport sucrose produced by leaves during photosynthesis to other parts of the plants

The transport system in flowering plants is made up of two transport tissues

Namely xylem and phloem, which are found in a group of vessels known as vascular bundles

A dye used to study the direction of water in the xylem structure

Eosin solution (red dye)

Structure in the stem of the plant that transports water from the roots to the leaves

Xylem

Transport system in plants (1)

Loss of water from plants through transpiration is in the form of liquid

Transport system in plants (2)

Loss of water through exudation is in the form of liquid
