In this article we will discuss about the Translocation of Mineral Ion's in the Plant. Plants obtain their supply of carbon and most of their oxygen from CO2 of atmosphere, hydrogen from water while the rest are minerals which are picked up individually from the soil. Minerals exist in the soil as ions which cannot directly cross the cell membranes. [...]
List of top two experiments on upward translocation of water by plants:- 1. Simple Demonstration of 'Ascent of Sap' 2. Determination of Suction Pressure Developed Due to Transpiration Pull. Experiment # 1. Simple Demonstration of 'Ascent of Sap': Absorption and subsequent translocation of water through conductive tissues is a vital process in plant life. By far the largest proportion of [...]
The movement of solutes through the plant tissues can take place in two pathways, the one is cytoplasmic pathway and the other is cell wall pathway. Solute movement may occur through channels in the cell walls and is, therefore, extracellular. In this way it bypasses the protoplasts and overcomes the barriers in the cross membranes. In this process the solutes [...]
