in under negative pressure (tension) The phloem‚ sugars are transported from “sources”- tissues that release sugars for use elsewhere – to “sinks”- tissues in which sugars are being used or stoned. Movement occurs because cells expend energy to load sucrose actively into phloem cells near source tissues. Water follows by osmosis‚ creating a pressure gradient that favours the movement of water and sucrose sinks Stomata are open during the day so that gas exchange can occur between the atmosphere

Place eggs 1‚ 2‚ and 3 into separate culture dishes containing solutions of distilled water 0% sucrose‚ 14% sucrose‚ and 40% sucrose respectively. 4. At 15 minutes intervals‚ that is after 15‚ 30‚ 45‚ 60‚ and 75 minutes‚ remove the eggs from the dishes; carefully wipe off all excess water‚ and again weigh each egg separately. Record the weight in Table 1. 5. Replace

The Measurement of the Rate of Osmosis by using “Deshelled” Chicken Eggs (Effect of Solute Concentration upon Rate/Degree of Osmosis in Chicken Eggs) Introduction Every cell needs a mechanism that it uses in the maintenance of a constant internal environment. This is important in the control of the ever changing external environment to the cell. The transfer of materials to and from the cell thus needs a very stable mechanism to achieve this status. Cells are therefore bound a membrane that acts

investigate the water potential of swede and then use our results to help us determine the water potential of plant tissue. This overall flow of water from a dilute area of high water potential to a more concentrated solution of low water potential across a partially permeable membrane is called osmosis. I predicted that the swede cylinders which are put in a test tube with a low potential of sucrose solution would become turgid because the water molecules that are present in the swede will move away from

DNA SPOOLING ISOLATION OF DNA FROM ONION INTRODUCTION This project will demonstrate several basic steps required for isolation of chromosomal DNA from cells. To extract the chromosomal DNA‚ both the cell membrane and the nuclear membrane must be broken open. This is accomplished by disrupting the membranes with a solution of detergent and salt‚creating a cell homogenate. Once the DNA is released from the nucleus‚ it must be protected from nucleases‚ enzymes which will degrade the DNA. Keeping

It contains several different types of cells these are vessel elements‚ traceids‚ fibres and parenchyma cells. In contrast to this phloem tissue is living and comprises of sieve tubes‚ phloem parenchyma (also known as companion cells) and phloem fibres. In the xylem tissue the vessel elements and tracheids are the cells that are involved with the transport

Evolutionary Origins Plants derived from an aquatic ancestor‚ but the evolution of their conducting tissues‚ cuticle‚ stomata‚ and seeds has made them progressively less dependent on water. The oldest plant fossils date from the Silurian Period‚ some 430 million years ago. The common ancestor of plants was a green alga. The similarity of the members of
