1. Describe how plant vasculature is optimized for water transport in the tallest trees 2. What property of water molecules allow water to stay together while being transported to extreme heights? And how does temperature affect this? 3.Water and minerals enter the plant through _______, and are then transported through plant\'s vasculature, via the _________. This flow is maintained through constant ________, where water exists through __________ in the leaves. The sugars that are made during photosynthesis in the ____________ are transported downwards through the vasculature via the _______. 4. Give an example of ways plant have evolved to cope with drought, Solution Water transport in tree occurs by cappilary action .Water is trasported by root to leaves through xylem . xylem is made up by tube like cells tracheids and vessel . These join together from root to leaves . Two forces are usful to flow water upward 1. root pressure and 2. transpiration . Root pressure occure when water flow into root due to osmotic pressure . Transpiration occures due to evoporation from leaf surface . The adhesive nature of water molecules to inner cappilary wall help to keep water column against gravitational force . 2 Adhesive nature of water to inner cappilary wall . Temprature increases transpiration and low osmatic pressure in leaves . 3. water and mineral entered the plant through ROOT and are then trasported through plant vasculature , via the XYLEM These flow is maintained through constant TRANSPIRATION where water exist through STOMETA in the leaves . Thesuger that are made during photosynthesis in the leaf are transported downward through the vasculature via PHLOEM. 4 Plant have evolved to cope with drought as xerophytic plant have well develop root system , fleshy leaves and stometa sunk in fleshy leave to avoid tranpiration ..
