Study Notes
Stomata
- Stomata are pores on the surface of leaves that allow for gas exchange and transpiration.
- Stomata open during the day to allow for photosynthesis and close at night to prevent excessive water loss.
- Light intensity and temperature can influence stomata opening.
- High light intensity and temperature increase transpiration, leading to increased stomata opening.
Transpiration
- Transpiration is the process of water loss from plants through stomata.
- Humidity affects transpiration rates.
- Low humidity increases transpiration rates.
- Transpiration helps cool the plant body and maintain turgor pressure.
Guttation
- Guttation is the process of water droplets being released from leaves at night.
- Occurs when there is high humidity and low evaporation.
- Guttation is distinct from transpiration.
Photosynthesis
- The balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis is:
- 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
Translocation
- Translocation is the process of transporting sugars from leaves to other parts of the plant.
- This process is facilitated by phloem tissue.
- Phloem is made up of sieve tubes and companion cells.
Essential Nutrients
- Essential nutrients are needed for plant growth and development.
- Macronutrients are required in large quantities by plants.
- Micronutrients are required in small quantities by plants.
- Examples of micronutrients include manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni), and chloride (Cl).
- Examples of macronutrients include nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
- Each nutrient plays a specific role in plant processes.
###Â Plant Experiments
- Experiments can be conducted to observe the transport of materials within plants.
- Experiment 1: Using colored dye to observe the movement of water in a flower stalk.
- Experiment 2: Comparing water loss rates in two different plants.
