8-transport in plants - Coggle Diagram

- - - - by recording how fast the air/water meniscus moves along the capillary tube, how fast the plant takes up water is shown
  - - - the higher the temperature, the faster the molecules move out of the stomata
    - - on a windy day, the air around the leaf is quickly moved away, creating a gradient for water vapour
    - - the higher the humidity, the slower water vapour will move out of the stomata, since there will not be a diffusion gradient as great as if the weather was not humid
- - - - this happens because water at the top is always taken away
- - - - amino acids and sucrose are transported to other parts of the plant through phloem tubes. This process is called "translocation"
        
        these products are moved from a "source" to a "sink"
        
        depending on tthe time of the year, the leaves may be the sources or the sinks
