Question ?
How do plants move materials from one organ to the other ?
![Page 3: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Levels of Plant Transport
1. Cellular
2. Short Distance
3. Long Distance
![Page 4: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Cellular Transport
The transport of solutes and water across cell membranes.
Types of transport:
1. Passive Transport
2. Active Transport
3. Water Transport
![Page 5: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
1. Passive Transport
Diffusion and Osmosis. Requires no cellular energy. Materials diffuse down
concentration gradients.
![Page 6: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Problems
Usually very slow. How can diffusion be
assisted? Transport Proteins
Ex. K+ channel
![Page 7: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Potassium Channel
Found in most plant cell membranes.
Allow K+ but not Na+ to pass. Often “gated” to respond to
environmental stimuli (see cell signaling)
![Page 8: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
2. Active Transport
Requires cell energy. Moves solutes against a
concentration gradient. Ex: Proton Pumps
![Page 9: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Proton Pump
Uses ATP to move H+ out of cells.
H+ creates a membrane potential.
H+ allows cotransport.
![Page 10: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Membrane Potentials
Allow cations to moved into the cell.
Ex: Ca+2, Mg+2
Allow anions to move by co-transport.
Ex: NO3
![Page 11: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Summary
![Page 12: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
3. Water Transport
Osmosis - water moves from high concentration to low concentration.
![Page 13: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Water Potential
The potential energy of water to move from one location to another.
Abbreviated as
![Page 14: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Problem
Cell wall creates a pressure in the cells.
Water potential must account for this pressure.
Pressure counteracts the tendency for water to move into plant cells.
![Page 15: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Water Potential
Has two components: Pressure potential:
Solute potential:

![Page 18: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Bulk Flow
The movement of water between two locations due to pressure or tension.
![Page 19: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Bulk Flow
Much faster than osmosis. Tension (negative pressure)
pulls water from place to place.
May cause bulk flow against the diffusion gradient.
![Page 20: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Plant Vacuoles
Create Turgor Pressure against the cell wall.
Affect water potential by controlling water concentrations inside cells.
![Page 21: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Tonoplast
Name for the vacuole membrane.
Has proton pumps. Comment – genetic
modification of these pumps gives plants salt tolerance.
![Page 22: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Proton Pumps
Drives solutes inside the vacuole.
Lowers water potential
()inside the vacuole.
![Page 23: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Result
Water moves into the vacuole. Vacuole swells. Turgor pressure increases.
![Page 24: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Turgor Pressure
Important for non-woody plant support.
Wilting: Loss of turgor pressure. Loss of water from cells.
![Page 26: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Short Distance Transport
1. Transmembrane route
2. Symplast route
3. Apoplast route
![Page 30: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
1. Transmembrane
Materials cross from cell to cell by crossing each cell's membranes and cell walls.
![Page 31: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
2. Symplast
The continuum of cytoplasm by plasmodesmata bridges between cells.
![Page 32: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
3. Apoplast
Extracellular pathway around and between cell walls.
![Page 33: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
![Page 34: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Long Distance Transport
Problem: diffusion is too slow for long distances.
Answer: tension and bulk flow methods.
![Page 35: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Root Hairs
Main site of absorption of water and minerals.
Comment - older roots have cork and are not very permeable to water.
![Page 36: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Root Cortex
Very spongy. Apoplast
route very common.
![Page 37: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Problem
Can't control uptake of materials if the apoplast route is used.
![Page 38: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Solution
Endodermis with its Casparian Strip.
![Page 39: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Casparian Strip
Waxy layer of suberin. Creates a barrier between the
cortex and the stele. Forces materials from
apoplast into endodermis symplast.
![Page 40: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Endodermis
Casparian Strip
![Page 41: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Result
Plant can now control movement of materials into the stele.
![Page 42: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Xylem Sap
Solution of water and minerals loaded into the xylem by the endodermis.
Endodermis - also prevents back flow of water and minerals out of the stele.
![Page 43: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Xylem Sap Transport Methods
1. Root Pressure
2. Transpiration (Ts)
![Page 44: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Root Pressure
Root cells load minerals into xylem.
Water potential () is
lowered. Water flows into xylem.
![Page 45: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Result
Volume of water in xylem increases
Xylem sap is pushed up the xylem tissues creating root pressure.
![Page 46: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Comments
Root Pressure: limited way to move xylem sap.
Most apparent at night.
Excess water may leave plant through Guttation.
![Page 47: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Transpiration (Ts)
Evaporation of water from aerial plant parts.
Major force to pull xylem sap up tall trees.
![Page 48: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
TCTM Theory
Transpiration Cohesion Tension Mechanism
![Page 49: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
How does TCTM work?
Water evaporates from leaves, especially from the cell walls of the spongy mesophyll.
Reason: water potential of the air is usually much less than that of the cells.
![Page 50: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
![Page 51: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
As water evaporates:
Cohesion: water molecules sticking together by H bonds.
Adhesion: water molecules sticking to other materials (cell walls etc.).
![Page 52: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Result
The loss of water from the leaves creates “tension” or negative pressure between the air and the water in the plant.
![Page 53: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Tension causes:
Xylem sap to move to replace the water lost from the mesophyll cells.
![Page 54: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Xylem Sap
Is “pulled” by the resulting tension all the way down the plant to the roots and soil.
![Page 55: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Ts Summary
Xylem sap moves along a continual chain of water potential from: air leaf stem roots soil

Comment
The same organ can serve as a source or a sink depending on the season.
![Page 72: Chapter 36 Transport in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812cf1550346895d91be19/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Result
Phloem transport can go in two directions even in the same vascular bundle.

Result
Sugar loaded into phloem.
Water potential ()
decreases. Bulk flow is created.

Bulk Flow
Movement of water into phloem.
Pressure forces phloem sap to move toward the sink.

At the Sink:
Sugar is removed. Water potential is raised. Water moves out of phloem
over to xylem.
