Moving water up the xylem vessels
![Page 16: Entry of water into plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56814d5e550346895dbaa076/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Moving water up the xylem vessels
• Via 3 processes: – Root pressure– Capillary action– Transpiration pull
the main process
![Page 17: Entry of water into plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56814d5e550346895dbaa076/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Process 1: Root pressure
![Page 18: Entry of water into plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56814d5e550346895dbaa076/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What will happen to the water level?
Pump water in

Movement of water from the root hair cells to the xylem vessels would create an upward force to push the water up the xylem vessels. This is known as root pressure.
![Page 20: Entry of water into plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56814d5e550346895dbaa076/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
How is root pressure generated?
1) Ions pumped from cortex into xylem
2) Water enters by osmosis

Movement of water from the root hair cells to the xylem vessels would create an upward force to push the water up the xylem vessels. This is known as root pressure.

• A experiment to demonstrate capillary action.• What did you observe?
![Page 24: Entry of water into plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56814d5e550346895dbaa076/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Capillary action
• Movement of water up a narrow tube
The narrower the tube, the higher level the water level
![Page 25: Entry of water into plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56814d5e550346895dbaa076/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Capillary action
Force of attraction between water molecules and wall of vessel ‘pulls’ water molecules into a vessel. (adhesion force)
Force of attraction between water molecules ‘pull’ the next molecule along. (cohesion force)
![Page 26: Entry of water into plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56814d5e550346895dbaa076/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Drinking ribena Transpiration pull Sucking of water up the straw
Transpiration of water from the leaves
Movement of water up straw
Movement of water up a xylem tube
Transpiration pull is a suction force caused by transpiration, that pulls the water up the xylem tube.
It is the strongest force that moves water up a xylem tube.
![Page 27: Entry of water into plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56814d5e550346895dbaa076/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Do not be confuse between…..
• Transpiration evaporation of water
• Transpiration pull suction force
• Transpiration stream the stream of water up the xylem vessels
![Page 28: Entry of water into plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56814d5e550346895dbaa076/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Adhesion and cohesion forces move the stream of water molecules up a xylem vessel.
![Page 29: Entry of water into plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56814d5e550346895dbaa076/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
2)water evaporates from the thin film of moisture and moves into the intercellular air spaces as water vapour.
1) Water continuously moves out of mesophyll cells to form a thin layer of moisture.
![Page 30: Entry of water into plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56814d5e550346895dbaa076/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Moving water up the xylem vessels
• Via 3 processes: – Root pressure– Capillary action– Transpiration pull the main process the causes
water to move up a xylem tube.

Transpiration
What is transpiration? – The evaporation loss
of water vapour through the stomata of the leaves is known as transpiration.
![Page 32: Entry of water into plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56814d5e550346895dbaa076/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
How is the suction force being created at the leaves by transpiration?
![Page 33: Entry of water into plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56814d5e550346895dbaa076/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Transpiration occurs here
![Page 34: Entry of water into plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56814d5e550346895dbaa076/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Lower conc. of water vapour
Water vapour would move down the concentration gradient into the atmosphere.
Water evaporates from the thin film of moisture to give water vapour.
![Page 35: Entry of water into plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56814d5e550346895dbaa076/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Water moves out of mesophyll cells to replace the thin film of moisture surrounding the mesophyll cell.
Mesophyll cell A

Transpiration set up an
suction force to pull water up the xylem
tube
![Page 37: Entry of water into plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56814d5e550346895dbaa076/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
True or false
• When transpiration stops for a long time, photosynthesis ceases.
• The sun provides energy for water to moves through the xylem.
![Page 38: Entry of water into plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56814d5e550346895dbaa076/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
• Usually, only 99% of the water absorbed is lost through transpiration.
• Where is the remaining 1% of water?
Think about it!
![Page 39: Entry of water into plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56814d5e550346895dbaa076/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Importance of transpiration
• To pull water and mineral salts from roots to leaves.
• Evaporation of water cools the leaves.
• Water used for photosynthesis; to keep cell frim and turgid.

Factors affecting the rate of transpiration
• Humidity• Wind or air movement• Temperature • Light
![Page 41: Entry of water into plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56814d5e550346895dbaa076/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Humidity
• What is humidity?- >Refers to the amount of water vapour that the air can hold.
![Page 42: Entry of water into plants](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56814d5e550346895dbaa076/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Higher conc. of water vapour (100% saturated)
Lower conc. of water vapour
The drier the air, the steeper the concentration gradient, the faster the rate of transpiration.

Wilting
What happens to the leaves when they wilt?
How does wilting benefit the plant?
Rate of transpiration > rate of absorption of water
