Transport In Plants

Description of Transport In Plants

From this App you can learn :
Investigate how roots absorb water and minerals from the soil and systematize the pathway of lateral transport of minerals and water through roots.
Understand the fundamental differences between diffusion and osmosis in plants.
Define and discuss the terms–Turgidity, Plasmolysis, Flaccidity in plants.
Define the term “ascent of sap” and analyze the role of different forces that contribute to the upward movement of sap.
Understand the mechanism of transpiration in plants and list the factors affecting transpiration.
Examine how cohesion and adhesion facilitate long-distance transport in plants.
Define the term “translocation and discover how food made by leaves transported to different parts of the plant.
