Girdling would be destructive to plants. By removing the bark in a ring around the trunk or branch, it severs the connection between the roots and leaves. The bark contains the phloem tissue which transports food from the leaves to the rest of the plant. Without this connection, the roots are cut off from their food source and will not be able to survive for long. The leaves above the girdle may remain alive temporarily as they still have access to water and minerals through the xylem vessels, but over time will also die off without receiving nutrients. Girdling effectively kills the portion of the plant above and below the cut, making it a destructive process.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

functions and
adaptations of
Root/ Root hairs?
Functions
1.Anchor the plant
2.Specialized in absorption of water &
dissolved minerals
Adaptations
1.Long and narrow
Increase surface area to volume ratio
2.Cells are alive
Provide energy for active transport
3.Root hairs have cell sap of higher concentration than surrounding soil
solution
Cell sap contains sugar, mineral salts which helps to prevent
water leaking out of cell. Assist in osmosis
33. Root PressureRoot Pressure
Osmotic pressure that build up within the root cells which
forces water up the root xylem
Recap on Osmosis
How does the root
maintain a
concentration
gradient?
34. Root PressureRoot Pressure
Uptake of water by the root hair by Osmosis
Uptake of dissolved minerals through active
transport
Cell sap within the root hairs becomes
more concentrated than the water in the
soil
35. Root PressureRoot Pressure
• Occurs when the soil moisture level is high
either at night or when transpiration is low
during the day
• Can only raise the water in some plants up
to 20m
• Not the main force
36.
37. Water transport in STEMWater transport in STEM
You have learnt that water is
transported from the root to the
stem and the leaf.
How does the plant
transport water
upwards against
gravity??
38. TranspirationTranspiration
Evaporation of water from the plant
Loss of water vapor through the stomata on the
underside of the leaves
1.The mesophyll cells in the leaves are covered
with a thin layer of moisture
Essential for efficient gas exchange to occur
2.Some of this moisture evaporates into the
intercellular spaces which diffuses through the
stomata into the ‘drier’ air
Water is pulled upwards through osmosis
(Transpiration Pull)
3.The waterway in which the water moves from a
higher water potential to a lower water potential
Transpiration Stream
39. 4 Environmental Factors that affect4 Environmental Factors that affect

1. Wind speed
2. Humidity
3. Light intensity
4. Temperature
5. Water supply
Animation
40. Light intensityLight intensity
During the day, stomata
of the leaves open. Why?
Photosynthesis!!
Gases exchange (CO2 & O2)
Water vapor also evaporates
(Transpiration)
41. TemperatureTemperature
The higher the temperature, the higher
the air water capacity to hold moisture
At 30ºC, a leaf
may transpire 3
times as fast as
it does at 20ºC
43. PotometerPotometer
The rate at which plants take up water depends on the
rate of transpiration- the faster a plant transpires, the
faster it takes up water.
44. Capillary ActionCapillary Action
• The attractive force between the molecules of a
particular liquid is known as Cohesion
Water coheres to each other via chemical bonds
called hydrogen bonds (holds the droplets of water
together)
• The attractive force between two unlike
materials is known as Adhesion
Adhesion causes water to stick to the inside of the
glass When water passes up the thin xylem vessels, it
adheres to the surface of the vessels, while the
force of osmosis gently ‘pushes’ the water
molecules, which cohere to each other, upwards
47. Forces that promotes uptake ofForces that promotes uptake of
waterwater
1. Root Pressure
Promotes uptake of water in the root
2. Transpiration pull
Main force to ‘suck’ up the water
3. Capillary Action
Pushes the water upwards due to the
adhesion between the walls of the xylem
vessels and water molecules as well as the
cohesion between the water molecules
49. Transport of Food in plantTransport of Food in plant
• Food substances (sugar & amino acids) are
manufactured in the green leaves through the
process called photosynthesis
• Translocation is the process of transporting
food substances downwards from the leaves to
all other parts of the plant, through the phloem
52. 3 experiments to show phloem3 experiments to show phloem
transport food substancestransport food substances
1. Using Aphids
Aphid penetrates the stem into
the phloem using its mouthpart
called stylet and sucks the
plant sap
A feeding aphid can be
anaesthetized and the stylet
cut off
The phloem sap flows out
through the stylet and can be
analysed. It is found to contain
sugars and other organic
substances

2. The Ringing Experiment
1. Swelling above the ring
2. Reduced growth below the
ring
3. Leaves are unaffected
55. 3 experiments to show phloem3 experiments to show phloem

3. Using radio-isotopes
57. WiltWilt
Temporary or permanent loss of turgor
pressure due to excessive transpiration of the
leaves & shoot
Result in flaccid appearances of leaves & shoot
Characterized by drooping & shriveling of soft tissue
58. a. Is wilting necessary a disadvantage to the plants?
Why?
b. Wilting reduces loss of water in leaves. How
does it affect intake of water for photosynthesis?
c. How is it the prolong process of wilting cause
harm to plants?
d. What other conditions may cause plants to wilt?
59. Advantage of wilting
Rate of transpiration reduces as the leaves folds up,
reducing surface that is exposed to sunlight.
This will cause guard cells to become flaccid and the
stomata will close to conserve water in the plant.
Disadvantage of wilting
• Rate of photosynthesis will be reduced due to the following
reasons:
Water becomes a limiting factor now.
The amount of sunlight that can be absorbed becomes a
limiting factor as leaves shriveled up.
The amount of carbon dioxide becomes a limiting factor as
the stomata are closed.
60. Things to ponderThings to ponder
• What time of the day should you water
your plant?
• Too much water, is it good for your plant?
61. People often give potted houseplants more
fertilizer than they need. As a result, the
plants begin to wilt and eventually die
instead of getting larger and healthier. What
could be the reason for this result?
62. “Girdling” or ring-barking is a term referring
to the bark of the tree in a complete ring
around the trunk or a branch. Predict the
effect that girdling will have on a tree.
Explain. Beneficial or Destructive to plants?
