1) Water and minerals are transported from the roots to the leaves through xylem tissue. Water enters root hair cells through osmosis and moves cell to cell through the root cortex and xylem vessels up the stem.
2) Photosynthates are transported from the leaves to the rest of the plant through phloem tissue. Phloem is made of sieve tube cells that transport sugars and amino acids.
3) Xylem and phloem are arranged in vascular bundles in stems and leaves, and alternate with each other in roots. Transpiration through the stomata of leaves creates a transpiration pull that draws water up the xylem against gravity.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

2. How is water transported
against gravity from the
roots, up the xylem and
to the leaves?
3. I wonder where
trees get water
from?
Well,
obviously
from the
ground.
What are the
processes involved?
4. How does water move
through the transport
system of a plant IF
it does not have a heart
to act as a pump?
PAUSE to
PONDER
•How is water lifted
against gravity from the
ground to the leaves
through this transport
system?
• Are the products of
photosynthesis also
carried in a set of vessels 4
6. Transport Structures of Flowering
Plants
1) Xylem
• Consists of mainly xylem vessels that are
made up of dead cells.
• Inner walls of xylem vessels are
strengthened by lignin.
• Lignin deposited in the form of rings or
spirals.
7. 1) Xylem (cont)
• Function:
– Conduct water and mineral salts from
roots to stems and leaves.
– Provide mechanical support for plant.
Transport Structures of Flowering
Plants
8. Adaptations of the xylem vessel for its
function
1) Empty lumen, no protoplasm or cross-walls.
– Reduces resistance to water flowing through
2) Walls thickened with lignin.
– Lignin is a hard and rigid substance.
– Prevents collapse of the vessel
(Mechanical support)
9. 2) Phloem
• Consists mainly of sieve tubes and companion
cells.
• Sieve tube consists of columns of sieve tube
cells, that are elongated and thin-walled.
• Companion cells provide the nutrients and help
the sieve tube cells transport manufactured food.

14. 1 Vascular bundles
14
How Are the Vascular Tissues Organised
in Stems?
In a dicotyledonous stem, the xylem
and phloem are grouped together to
form vascular bundles.
xylem
cambium
phloem
vascular bundle
The phloem lies outside the xylem with
a tissue called the cambium between
them.
•Cambium cells can divide and
differentiate to form new xylem and
phloem tissues,
•Giving rise to a thickening of the stem.
2 Cambium
15. How Are the Vascular Tissues Organised in
Stems?
Pith
The vascular bundles are arranged
in a ring around a central region
called the pith.
3
Cortex
4
The region between the vascular
bundles and the epidermis is the
cortex.
•Both the cortex and the pith serve
to store up food substances, such
as starch.
16. How Are the Vascular Tissues Organised in
Stems?
Epidermis
The stem is covered by a layer of
cells called the epidermis.
•The epidermal cells are protected
by a waxy, waterproof cuticle
•Which greatly reduces evaporation
of water from the stem.

18. How Are the Vascular Tissues Organised in
Roots?
xylem
phloem
In a dicotyledonous root, the
xylem and phloem are not
bundled together. Instead, they
alternate with each other.
1 Vascular bundles
2 Cortex
The cortex of the root is also a
storage tissue. The innermost
layer of root cortex is called the
endodermis.
19. How Are the Vascular Tissues Organised in
Roots?
Piliferous layer
The epidermis of the root is the
outermost layer of cells. It bears
root hairs. It is also called the
piliferous layer.
Root hair
Each root hair is a tubular
outgrowth of an epidermal cell.
•This outgrowth increases the
surface area to volume ratio of the
root hair cell.
•The absorption of water and
mineral salts is increased through
this adaptation.

tree trunks? WH AT IS IT?
25. Formation of Lenticles
• In woody stems the stomata are blocked by the
presence of cork cells
• The epidermis of woody stems breaks up to form tiny
pores called lenticles which allow gaseous exchange.

33. Entry of Water into a Plant
33
The sap in the root hair cell is a relatively concentrated solution of
sugars and various salts.
•Thus the sap has a lower water potential than the soil solution.
• These two solutions are separated by the partially permeable cell
surface membrane of the root hair cell.
• Water enters the root hair by osmosis.

The entry of water dilutes the sap.
• The sap of the root hair cell now has a higher water potential
than that of the next cell (cell B)
• Hence, water passes by osmosis from the root hair cell into the
inner cell.

36. How do nitrate ions
get into plants?
Are they directly
absorbed from the
air?
No. Even though
the air has 79% of
nitrogen, it is
highly unreactive.
PAUSE to
PONDER
•How are ions transported around in
plants?
37. How do root hairs absorb ions and mineral
salts?
1) Active Transport
• When the concentration of ions in the salt solution
is lower than that in the root hair cell sap
• Root hairs absorb the salts against a concentration
gradient
• Energy for this process comes from cellular
respiration in the root hair cell.
38. 2) Diffusion
• When concentration of certain ions in the soil
solution are higher than that in the root hair cell.
How do root hairs absorb ions and mineral
salts?
39. How the root hair cell is adapted to its
function of absorption
1) Root hair is long and narrow
• Increases surface area to volume ratio
• Which in turn increases the rate of absorption of
minerals and water.
2) Cell surface membrane prevents cell sap from
leaking out
• Cell sap contains sugars, amino acids and salts
• Has lower water potential than soil solution
• Results in water entering the root hair by osmosis
40. 3) Living root hair cell
• Able to provide energy for active transport of ions
(mineral salts) into the cell.
• Energy produced by the mitochondria during
cellular respiration.

cell sap
As water evaporates from
the mesophyll cells,
• the water potential of the
cell sap decreases.
• The mesophyll cells begin
to absorb water by osmosis
from the cells deeper inside
the leaf.
• These cells, in turn,
remove water from the vein,
that is, from the xylem
vessels.

48. Importance of Transpiration
1) Transpiration pull
• helps to draw water and mineral salts from the
roots to the leaves
2) Evaporation of water removes latent heat
from the plant.
• prevent the plant from overheating
3) Water transported to the leaves can:
• be used for photosynthesis
• keep cells turgid
• replace water lost by the cells.
49. Factors affecting the rate of
Transpiration
1) Humidity of the air
• Humidity refers to the amount of water vapor in
the air.
• Increasing humidity decreases the concentration
gradient between air and leaf.
• Therefore, deceasing the rate of transpiration
2) Wind or Air movement
• The stronger the wind, the faster the rate of
transpiration.
50. 3) Temperature of air
• Increasing temperatures increases the rate of
evaporation.
• Thus increasing the rate of transpiration
4) Light
• Light affects the stomata.
• With increasing light intensity, stomata open and
become wider.
• Therefore, this increases the rate of transpiration
Factors affecting the rate of
Transpiration
52. Wilting
• Occurs when excess transpiration occurs
• In strong sunlight, rate of transpiration exceed
rate of water absorption by the roots
• cells lose more water than they absorb water,
resulting in plasmolysis water leaves the cells,
causing the cell membrane to shrink from the
cellulose cell wall
• cells lose their turgor pressure and become
flaccid
• This results in the plant wilting.
53. Advantages of Wilting
• The folding up of the leaves
– Surface area exposed to sunlight is reduced
• Leads to the guard cells becoming flaccid and close
up
– Therefore reducing the rate of transpiration
54. Disadvantages of Wilting
• Water is the limiting factor for photosynthesis
• Stomata is closed,
– Amount of CO2 entering the leaf is also reduced.
– CO2 becomes a limiting factor,
• Therefore decreasing the rate of photosynthesis.
58. • What is transverse?
• Which tissue has been stained red?
• What conclusion can you draw from your
investigation?
59. Investigation 9.2
• Make drawings of your observations
• What does this experiment tell you about
the phloem?
• Suggest an explanation of your
observations.
60. Investigation 9.2
• The phloem tissues have been removed.
• Manufactured food substances (e.g sugar and amino acid)
accumulate above the cut region and cause swelling in twigs A and C.
However in twig B, manufactured food can pass through the phloem
without any barrier.
• This suggests that food is made in the leaves and are transported
through the phloem.
