Water Pressure

Water Pressure

Xylem tissue forms a continuous set of tubes that runs from the roots through stems and out into the spongy mesophyll of leaves.

Active transport and root pressure cause water to move from soil into plant roots.

Capillary action and transpiration also are needed to transport water and minerals.

Water Pressure

The combination of root pressure, capillary action, and transpiration provides enough force to move water through the xylem tissue of even the tallest plant.

Water Pressure

Cohesion is the attraction of molecules of the same substance to each other.

Adhesion is the attraction between unlike molecules.

Water Pressure

The tendency of water to rise in a thin tube is called capillary action.

Water is attracted to the walls of the tube, and water molecules are attracted to one another.

Water Pressure

Capillary action causes water to move much higher in a narrow tube than in a wide tube.

Water Pressure

Tracheids and vessel elements form hollow connected tubes in a plant.

Capillary action in these structures causes water to rise well above the level of the ground.

Water Pressure

Transpiration

In tall plants, the major force in water transport comes from the evaporation of water from leaves during transpiration.

Water Pressure

When water is lost through transpiration, osmotic pressure moves water out of the vascular tissue of the leaf.

Water Pressure

The movement of water out of the leaf “pulls” water upward through the vascular system all the way from the roots.

This process is known as transpirational pull.

Water Pressure

Controlling Transpiration

The water content of the leaf is kept relatively constant.

When there is a lot of water, water pressure in the guard cells is increased and the stomata open.

Excess water is then lost through the open stomata by transpiration.

Water Pressure

When water is scarce, the opposite occurs.

Water pressure in the leaf decreases. The guard cells respond by closing the stomata.

This reduces further water loss by limiting transpiration.

When too much water is lost, wilting occurs. When a leaf wilts, its stomata close and transpiration slows down. This helps a plant conserve water.

Nutrient Transport

Nutrient Transport

Many plants pump sugars into their fruits.

In cold climates, plants pump food into their roots for winter storage.

This stored food must be moved back into the trunk and branches of the plant before growth begins again in the spring.

Nutrient Transport

Movement from Source to Sink

A process of phloem transport moves sugars through a plant from a source to a sink.

A source is any cell in which sugars are produced by photosynthesis.

A sink is any cell where the sugars are used or stored.

Nutrient Transport

When nutrients are pumped into or removed from the phloem system, the change in concentration causes a movement of fluid in that same direction.

As a result, phloem is able to move nutrients in either direction to meet the nutritional needs of the plant.

Nutrient Transport

If part of a plant actively absorbs nutrients from the phloem, osmosis causes water to follow.

This decreases pressure and causes a movement of fluid in the phloem toward the sink.
