Questions from Mary Jones, Richard Fosbery, Dennis Taylor and, Jennifer Gregory Solutions for Chapter: Transport in Plants, Exercise 7: Question with Hints & Solutions
Explain how the total lack of cell contents adapts xylem vessels for their function of transporting water from roots to leaves.
Explain how the absence of end walls in individual xylem elements adapts xylem vessels for their function of transporting water from roots to leaves.
Explain how the narrow diameter (between 0.01mm and 0.2mm) adapts xylem vessels for their function of transporting water from roots to leaves.
Explain how the lignified wall adapts xylem vessels for their function of transporting water from roots to leaves.
Explain how pits adapts xylem vessels for their function of transporting water from roots to leaves.
The accepted theory for how water moves through xylem is called the cohesion- tension theory. It relies largely on what is called transpiration pull. Briefly explain the use of the terms cohesion-tension and transpiration pull.
