TRANSPORT IN PLANTS - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Humidity
        
        The less humid the air of atmosphere, stepper conc gradient, higher rate of transpiration
      - Light
        
        High intensity of light causes stomata to open bigger and wider thus increasing rate of transpiration
      - Wind
        
        Wind blows away air that accumulates outside stomata, steeper conc gradient, faster rate of transpiration
      - Temperature
  - - - Capillary action
        
        Water moves up inside narrow cap tubes due to interactions between water molecules and surface of xylem vessels
      - Root pressure
        
        Living cells around xylem use active transport to pump ions into xylem vessels, lowering wp in xylem, causing water to move from living cells into xylem via osmosis and flows upwards
      - Transpiration Pull
