Types of root system• There are 2 types of root system in the flowering plants:
1. Fibrous root system, and
2. Tap root system
• Each root has many root hairs close to its root tip.• Root hairs are tiny hair-like projections of the epidermal
cells of the root.• They greatly increase the surface area of roots for
absorption of water and minerals.

13.2 Transport in Flowering Plants
• There are 2 functions of the transport system:
1. Transport tissues• Important for plants living on land because
tissues in any region of plant are unlikely to have access to all the materials that they need from their environment.
2. Supporting tissues• Large, land living plants may need
additional support which transport tissues provide.
![Page 25: IB Bio HL II - Mrs Kate Ng Ch 9 Plant Science 9.1 Dicotyledonous plant structure 9.2 Transport in plants 9.3 Sexual reproduction in plants](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102800/56649e6b5503460f94b699ab/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Transport Tissues
• The 2 transport (vascular) tissues of flowering plants are the xylem and phloem.
• Xylem transports water and dissolved materials.– Remember ‘Water in the XYlem – WXY’
• Phloem transports food.– Remember ‘PHloem carries PHood’
![Page 26: IB Bio HL II - Mrs Kate Ng Ch 9 Plant Science 9.1 Dicotyledonous plant structure 9.2 Transport in plants 9.3 Sexual reproduction in plants](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102800/56649e6b5503460f94b699ab/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Xylem
• Xylem is made up of dead tissues consisting mainly of long, tube-like vessels with lignified walls.
• Lignified means that the cellulose cell walls have lignin added to them, this makes them hard and permeable to water. Gives support for the plant.
![Page 28: IB Bio HL II - Mrs Kate Ng Ch 9 Plant Science 9.1 Dicotyledonous plant structure 9.2 Transport in plants 9.3 Sexual reproduction in plants](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102800/56649e6b5503460f94b699ab/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Xylem• Characteristics:
1. They are long and narrow cells,
2. They are hollow and are without protoplasm (therefore dead cells),
3. The cells are joined end to end, without any cross walls and extend as continuous tubes from roots to stems and into the leaves,
4. The cellulose cell wall is strengthened by lignin.
![Page 29: IB Bio HL II - Mrs Kate Ng Ch 9 Plant Science 9.1 Dicotyledonous plant structure 9.2 Transport in plants 9.3 Sexual reproduction in plants](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102800/56649e6b5503460f94b699ab/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Xylem
• The xylem tissues have 2 functions:
1. Conducting water, with its dissolved mineral salts, from the roots to the stems and leaves.
2. Providing mechanical support within the plant.
![Page 30: IB Bio HL II - Mrs Kate Ng Ch 9 Plant Science 9.1 Dicotyledonous plant structure 9.2 Transport in plants 9.3 Sexual reproduction in plants](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102800/56649e6b5503460f94b699ab/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Phloem
• Phloem is a living tissue consisting mainly of long sieve with cellulose walls.
• The function of the long sieve tubes is to transport food substances.
![Page 32: IB Bio HL II - Mrs Kate Ng Ch 9 Plant Science 9.1 Dicotyledonous plant structure 9.2 Transport in plants 9.3 Sexual reproduction in plants](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102800/56649e6b5503460f94b699ab/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Phloem
• Characteristics:
1. They have cytoplasm but no nucleus.
2. The cells are joined end to end, and their end walls are perforated (known as sieve plates).
3. Strands of cytoplasm extend through the pores of sieve plates into the next cell.
![Page 33: IB Bio HL II - Mrs Kate Ng Ch 9 Plant Science 9.1 Dicotyledonous plant structure 9.2 Transport in plants 9.3 Sexual reproduction in plants](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102800/56649e6b5503460f94b699ab/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Transport of water
• The complete process of transpiration occurs in 3 distinct places:
1. Absorption by roots
2. Movement up the plant
3. Evaporation by the leaves.
![Page 35: IB Bio HL II - Mrs Kate Ng Ch 9 Plant Science 9.1 Dicotyledonous plant structure 9.2 Transport in plants 9.3 Sexual reproduction in plants](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102800/56649e6b5503460f94b699ab/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
1. Absorption by roots
– Roots are important for anchoring the plant in the soil, as well as for
– Absorbing substances from the soil.
![Page 36: IB Bio HL II - Mrs Kate Ng Ch 9 Plant Science 9.1 Dicotyledonous plant structure 9.2 Transport in plants 9.3 Sexual reproduction in plants](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102800/56649e6b5503460f94b699ab/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
1. Absorption by roots
– The absorption of water is by osmosis, which is a passive process.
– The cells of the roots contain relatively concentrated solution compared with water in the soil.
– The result is a concentration gradient across the root, causing water to be drawn towards the central vascular bundle.
![Page 37: IB Bio HL II - Mrs Kate Ng Ch 9 Plant Science 9.1 Dicotyledonous plant structure 9.2 Transport in plants 9.3 Sexual reproduction in plants](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102800/56649e6b5503460f94b699ab/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
1. Absorption by roots
![Page 38: IB Bio HL II - Mrs Kate Ng Ch 9 Plant Science 9.1 Dicotyledonous plant structure 9.2 Transport in plants 9.3 Sexual reproduction in plants](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102800/56649e6b5503460f94b699ab/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
1. Absorption by roots– The absorption of mineral salts can
occur by diffusion if the minerals involved are present in relatively small amount within the plants.
– Active transport allows the plant to accumulate particular minerals above the concentration found in the surrounding soil;
– The energy is derived from respiration.
![Page 39: IB Bio HL II - Mrs Kate Ng Ch 9 Plant Science 9.1 Dicotyledonous plant structure 9.2 Transport in plants 9.3 Sexual reproduction in plants](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102800/56649e6b5503460f94b699ab/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
1. Absorption by roots
– The relatively high concentration of minerals within the root tissues results in root pressure*, which probably helps push water up the plant.
![Page 40: IB Bio HL II - Mrs Kate Ng Ch 9 Plant Science 9.1 Dicotyledonous plant structure 9.2 Transport in plants 9.3 Sexual reproduction in plants](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102800/56649e6b5503460f94b699ab/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
2. Movement up the plant
– Water enters the open-ended xylem vessels in the central part of the root.
– Xylem tissues form an almost continuous system of thin woody (lignified) tubes connecting the roots with the stem and leaves.
![Page 41: IB Bio HL II - Mrs Kate Ng Ch 9 Plant Science 9.1 Dicotyledonous plant structure 9.2 Transport in plants 9.3 Sexual reproduction in plants](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102800/56649e6b5503460f94b699ab/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
2. Movement up the plant
– There are 3 possible ways in which water is made to move up the plant:
i. Root pressure
ii. Capillary action
iii. Transpiration pull (Cohesion Tension Theory)
![Page 42: IB Bio HL II - Mrs Kate Ng Ch 9 Plant Science 9.1 Dicotyledonous plant structure 9.2 Transport in plants 9.3 Sexual reproduction in plants](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102800/56649e6b5503460f94b699ab/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
i. Root Pressure– This arises from active transport into the root
cells. – accounts for less than 25% of the force
necessary to move water through the plant.
![Page 43: IB Bio HL II - Mrs Kate Ng Ch 9 Plant Science 9.1 Dicotyledonous plant structure 9.2 Transport in plants 9.3 Sexual reproduction in plants](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102800/56649e6b5503460f94b699ab/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
ii. Capillary action
– What happens to the suction when the straw has a hole?
– Apply to plants…– Results from water molecules “climbing” the
narrow xylem vessels.– Adhesion occurs between the water and
the lining of the xylem tubes.– These “pulls” water up the plant, although
only for fairly short distant.
![Page 44: IB Bio HL II - Mrs Kate Ng Ch 9 Plant Science 9.1 Dicotyledonous plant structure 9.2 Transport in plants 9.3 Sexual reproduction in plants](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102800/56649e6b5503460f94b699ab/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
iii. Transpiration pull (Cohesion Tension Theory)
– The cells inside the leaf are covered with a film of water. When this water evaporates into the air spaces in the leaf, it diffuses through the stomata into the surrounding air.
– The loss of water from the mesophyll cells pulls in water from the neighbouring cells.
– The tension or pull is created as the column water in the xylem vessels.
![Page 45: IB Bio HL II - Mrs Kate Ng Ch 9 Plant Science 9.1 Dicotyledonous plant structure 9.2 Transport in plants 9.3 Sexual reproduction in plants](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102800/56649e6b5503460f94b699ab/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
iii. Transpiration pull (Cohesion Tension Theory)
– It extends all the way to the roots and pull water up to the top of the plant in a continuous column.
– The flow of water is known as transpiration pull.
– This account for most of the water movement up the plant.

3. Evaporation by the leaves
– Water evaporates from the surfaces of the mesophyll cells in the leaves.
– The water vapour produced escapes to the exterior through specialised pores called stomata.
![Page 48: IB Bio HL II - Mrs Kate Ng Ch 9 Plant Science 9.1 Dicotyledonous plant structure 9.2 Transport in plants 9.3 Sexual reproduction in plants](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102800/56649e6b5503460f94b699ab/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
3. Evaporation by the leaves
– Water evaporates from the surfaces of the mesophyll cells in the leaves.
– The water vapour produced escapes to the exterior through specialised pores called stomata.
– Abscisic acid stimulates guard cells to close in response to water loss
![Page 49: IB Bio HL II - Mrs Kate Ng Ch 9 Plant Science 9.1 Dicotyledonous plant structure 9.2 Transport in plants 9.3 Sexual reproduction in plants](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102800/56649e6b5503460f94b699ab/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Factors affecting the Rate of Transpiration
• Transpiration is dependent upon evaporation.
• Any factor that affects the rate of evaporation of water will affect the rate of transpiration.
![Page 50: IB Bio HL II - Mrs Kate Ng Ch 9 Plant Science 9.1 Dicotyledonous plant structure 9.2 Transport in plants 9.3 Sexual reproduction in plants](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102800/56649e6b5503460f94b699ab/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
External factors that influence the rate of transpiration are:
1. Humidity of the air– The more humid the air, the slower the
rate of transpiration.
2. Temperature of the air– A rise in temperature of the surroundings
increases the rate of evaporation, thus the rate of transpiration is greater.
![Page 51: IB Bio HL II - Mrs Kate Ng Ch 9 Plant Science 9.1 Dicotyledonous plant structure 9.2 Transport in plants 9.3 Sexual reproduction in plants](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102800/56649e6b5503460f94b699ab/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
External factors that influence the rate of transpiration are:
3. Strong wind– The stronger the wind, the higher the rate of
transpiration.
4. Light– Light affects the size of stomata. Presence of
light, transpiration rate increases.
5. Water availability• Shortage of water will cause the closing of the
stomata

Pollination
• Refers to the transfer of pollen from an anther to a stigma
• 2 types of pollination:– Self pollination– Cross pollination
![Page 56: IB Bio HL II - Mrs Kate Ng Ch 9 Plant Science 9.1 Dicotyledonous plant structure 9.2 Transport in plants 9.3 Sexual reproduction in plants](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102800/56649e6b5503460f94b699ab/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Self-pollination
• Occurs when pollen from the anthers of a flower is transferred onto the stigma of the same flower or another flower on the same plant
![Page 57: IB Bio HL II - Mrs Kate Ng Ch 9 Plant Science 9.1 Dicotyledonous plant structure 9.2 Transport in plants 9.3 Sexual reproduction in plants](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102800/56649e6b5503460f94b699ab/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Cross-pollination
• Occurs when the pollen from the anthers of a flower is transferred onto the stigma of another plant

Advantages of insects as pollinators
Insects are carrier of pollen as they are:• Small sized to enable them to gain
entry into the flowers to obtain nectar.• Highly mobile – many are winged or
very industrious which enable them to visit a large number of flowers.
• Numerous in number.• In a large variety of species.

Dispersal of Fruits & Seeds
• What are the advantages of dispersal methods?
– Reduces the chances of inbreeding
– Prevents overcrowding and competition for light and water with parent plant
– Decrease vulnerability to epidemic attacks of diseases
– Ensure variability
– Enable plants to colonise new and favourable habitats
![Page 64: IB Bio HL II - Mrs Kate Ng Ch 9 Plant Science 9.1 Dicotyledonous plant structure 9.2 Transport in plants 9.3 Sexual reproduction in plants](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102800/56649e6b5503460f94b699ab/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
• There are 4 types of dispersal methods:
1.Dispersal by wind
2.Dispersal by water
3.Dispersal by animals
4.Dispersal by self explosive mechanism

Seed vs Fruit• How to tell from a seed and a fruit?• A fruit has
– One or more seeds, and– It has 2 scars:
• one where it was attached to the plant & • one where the style and stigma were
attached to
• A seed has– Only 1 scar
• where it was joined onto the fruit.

Seed Germination
![Page 71: IB Bio HL II - Mrs Kate Ng Ch 9 Plant Science 9.1 Dicotyledonous plant structure 9.2 Transport in plants 9.3 Sexual reproduction in plants](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102800/56649e6b5503460f94b699ab/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Conditions required during germination
External environmental conditions necessary for germination:
• Sufficient water– With water, cotyledons produce enzymes
• Suitable temperature– Required for enzyme activity
• Adequate oxygen supply– For respiration
![Page 72: IB Bio HL II - Mrs Kate Ng Ch 9 Plant Science 9.1 Dicotyledonous plant structure 9.2 Transport in plants 9.3 Sexual reproduction in plants](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102800/56649e6b5503460f94b699ab/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Metabolic events in Germination
• What is Germination?– It is the onset of growth of the embryo.
Changes during germination:
1. Seeds absorb water and swells, 2. Seed coat burst3. Water activates gibberelline, a hormone needed
for breaking the dormancy of the seed.
4. Gibberelline activates amylase whic to digest stored food into
5. Soluble products of digestion (glucose & amino acids) are transported to the growth regions of the embryos (i.e. plumule and radicle).
![Page 73: IB Bio HL II - Mrs Kate Ng Ch 9 Plant Science 9.1 Dicotyledonous plant structure 9.2 Transport in plants 9.3 Sexual reproduction in plants](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102800/56649e6b5503460f94b699ab/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
4. Glucose is used for the synthesis of cellulose and other cell wall materials
5. Amino acids are used for protein synthesis as components of protoplasm
6. The dry mass decreases at first because of tissue respiration to provide energy for growth.
7. This loss will continue until the seedling produces green leaves and starts to photosynthesise and make its own food.
