Questions and Answers

How many chambers does the heart of a fish have?

  • Three
  • Four
  • Five
  • Two (correct)

    • Where is the heart located in humans?

  • Between the lungs, in the middle compartment of the chest (correct)
  • Near the stomach, in the abdominal cavity
  • On the left side of the chest

    Study Notes

    Transpiration

    • Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems, and flowers.
    • It is a passive process that requires no energy expense by the plant.
    • Transpiration cools plants, changes osmotic pressure of cells, and enables mass flow of mineral nutrients.

    Regulation of Water Loss

    • When water uptake by the roots is less than the water lost to the atmosphere by evaporation, plants close small pores called stomata to decrease water loss.
    • This slows down nutrient uptake and decreases CO2 absorption from the atmosphere, limiting metabolic processes, photosynthesis, and growth.

    Water and Nutrient Uptake

    • Only a small amount of water taken up by the roots is used for growth and metabolism (3-0.5%).
    • The remaining 97-99.5% is lost by transpiration and guttation.
    • Water with dissolved mineral nutrients is absorbed into the roots by osmosis.
    • Water travels through the xylem by way of water molecule adhesion and cohesion.
