The Control of Transpiration

Plants normally lose water from openings (stomates) in their leaves. The water loss typicallyoccurs during daylight hours when plants are exposed to the Sun. This water loss, known astranspiration, is both beneficial and harmful to plants. Scientists believe wind and high temperatures increase the rate of transpiration, but the size ofeach stomate opening can be regulated. Reducing the size of the openings during droughtconditions may help reduce the dehydration and wilting that would otherwise occur. A leaf may lose more than its own weight in water each day. Transpiration also lowers theinternal temperature of the leaf as water evaporates. On hot days, temperatures in the leaves maybe from 3° to 15°C cooler than the outside air. With stomates open, vital gases may be exchangedbetween the leaf tissues and the outside environment. Researchers have also found many plants that use another response when leaf temperaturesrise. Special molecules known as heat shock proteins are produced by plant cells and help to holdenzymes in their functional shapes.

Bromthymol blue, which turnsfrom blue to yellow in the presence of carbon dioxide, was added to the water at the bottom of eachtube before the tubes were sealed. The tubes were maintained at the temperatures shown for six days.(Average room temperature is 20°C.)

"109. Identify the life process responsible for the change in tube A.

110. Explain how the temperature difference could lead to the different results in tubes A and B after sixdays.

antibody binds to aspecific pathogen, or, – enzyme: Anenzyme has aspecific shape thatmust match theshape of themolecules withwhich it interacts(lock and key orinduced fit).

93. – Ribosomesconstruct proteinsout of amino acids.–Ribosomes useamino acids toassemble proteins.–Ribosomes useamino acids.

94. — Decreased levelsof carbohydratesmight result infatigue/less energy.— Lack of proteinin the diet mightlead to muscleloss/enzymedeficiency. — Lackof minerals mightcause loss of bonedensity.

95. — Carbohydratesare a source ofenergy. They can beused to produce theATP needed forcarrying out bodyactivities. —Proteins arenecessary for growthand repair. —Minerals are neededfor strong bones andteeth.

96. — The shape of theprotein couldchange. — Thefunction of theprotein could bedifferent. — It mightform a differentprotein.

98. –Pepsin will eitherstop functioning orslow down. –This isbecause the pHrange in the smallintestine is 7.5 to 9.0and pepsin normallyfunctions at 1.0 to3.0. –A fever of40°C couldslow/stop enzymefunctioning, sincethese enzymes workbest at around 37°C.–Ptyalin and trypsincannot both digestthe same type offood becauseenzymes arespecific.&-ndash;They havedifferent shapes.

99. Examples: — Adifferent organiccompound wouldhave a differentshape. — A differentorganic compoundwould not fit withsubstance X. — Theactive site of X doesnot fit a differentsubstrate. —Substance X isspecific to onlycertain materials.
