The following points highlight the three methods of transport in plants. The methods are: 1. Diffusion 2. Facilitated Diffusion 3. Active Transport. Method # 1. Diffusion: Movement by diffusion is passive and slow. It occurs along the concentration gradient, i.e., from region of higher concentration to region of lower concentration provided the cell membrane is permeable to it. No energy [...]
In this article we will discuss about the Flow of Source and Sink in Phloem Translocation. It is the long distance movement of organic substances from the source or supply end (region of manufacture or storage) to the region of utilization or sink. But the source and sink may be reversed depending on the season or need of the plants. [...]
The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between Evaporation and Transpiration. Difference # Evaporation: 1. Water vapours are formed at the free surface of water. 2. It takes place at the surface of non-living objects. 3. It is a physical process which is controlled by the environmental conditions like relative humidity and air current. 4. Evaporation stops when [...]
