HSC 2100 Lecture Notes - Lecture 41: Cellular Respiration, Vascular Bundle, Capillary Action
Document Summary
Increase in glucose, vitamins, amino acids and lipids. Decrease in glucose, amino acids and lipids from the blood. Urea, certain medications and some salts removed from the blood. Bundle of vessels that connect different regions of a plant, contain xylem and phloem. Transport vessels in plants that carry water and minerals from the soil to the leaves. Living vascular tissue that carries sugar and organic substances throughout a plant. Roots- solute actively pumped into roots, thus water pressure increases at roots by osmosis. Stem -water is both cohesive and adhesive, thus sticks together and to the surface of the xylem tube as it rises up the tube. Leaf -water evaporates via stomates and this "sucks" up water into the leaves from the stem, creating a. Fibre tube with lignin rings, found in stem "pith" Sieve tube and plates with surrounding companion cells. Longitudinal -> draw sieve tube with sieve plate and connected companion cells.
