Chapter 37: Water and sugar transport in plants Water moves from areas of high water potential to areas of low water potential. Water’s potential energy in plants is a combination of (1) it’s tendency to move in response to differences in solute concentration and (2) the pressure exerted on it Plants do not expend energy to replace water that is lost to transpiration when stomata are open and photosynthesis is occurring. Instead‚ water moves from soil and roots to leaves long a water potential

PLANTS AND HUMAN BEINGS Plants and humans are living things that constitute part of the environment. These two depend on each other for their survival. But as plants can live without humans‚ humans can not live for long without plants and this essay explains why this is possible. Plants have the capability to build up organic substances they need from inorganic substances. They only need carbon dioxide‚ water and salts to make their essential substances. Glucose for example is produced from these
