Explain the role of water potential in the movement of water from soil

Biology
1 answer:
Readme [11.4K]3 years ago

It's been a while, but I think I can answer this. Concentration gradients tend to shift from high concentration to lower concentrations for equilibrium. So if the water potential is more in the soil and plant, but less in the air, water will want to travel from the soil, through the plant into the air. 

<span>Water evaporates into the atmosphere through the means of transpiration. As the water evaporates, it tends to pull more water molecules up along the xylem. This is known as transpiration pull, where because of surface tension of water and capillary action, water is pulled up along the xylem due to transpiration. This is not the only mechanism of water movement in plants however. </span>

<span>Anyways, from the example of transpiration pull, you can see the role of water potential as the water potential in the soil, being high, flows through the plant, and into the air.</span>

The scientific name of the sugar maple is Acer saccharum. What does each part of the name designate?
irinina [24]

Answer:Acer represents the genus name while

saccharum represents the species.

Explanation:

In a way to classify organisms, biologists used certain important common features to structure them into groups. The arrangement of living organisms in this hierarchy from the highest level to the lowest is as follows:

Kingdom--> phylum-->class-->order--> Family-->genus--> species.

The largest group of organisms is kingdom while species is the smallest unit of classification.

The common name of the plant used in the question above is sugar maple. Biologist, however, use a standard system to name living organisms. Each kind of organism is given two names, hence the term BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE.

--> The first name is the name of the genus to which the organism belongs.

--> The second name is the name of the species to which it belongs.

Both names are printed in italics with only the genus name having an initial capital letter. Hence, the scientific name of sugar maple is Acer saccharum( in italics).

consider a molecule of the polymer, polyethylene, and a protein molecule as if they were strings of beads. How would the string
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

When a  macromolecule contains repeated similar sub units of a particular molecule:such a repeated units are called polymers.

Therefore, polyethylene is a micromolecule of repeated subunits  called ethylene formed during polymerization..Therefore, the small units joined together to form polyethylene are ethylene.These are alkene hydrocarbons,which are similar in structure with the carbon  atoms  linked by double bonds.When the Pi bonds of the double bonds breaks. hydrogen atoms forms free covalents bonds in all these sub units.

However, polypeptides is made of of 20 different amino acids, connected by peptides, disulfide and other bonds.Therefore the protein molecules will be different from the polyethylene and polymers. This is because each of the 20 amino acids has different R-groups, and It is this  R-groups that determine the functional characteristics displayed by each amino acid sub- units.Therefore, the characteristics of a protein molecule will be determine by the type of Amino acids it contains.

Thus the beads of polyethylene will be the same, but different in proteins

Tissue with stellate cells whose function is communication
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Stellate cells are resident lipid-storing cells of the pancreas and liver that transdifferentiate to a myofibroblastic state in the context of tissue injury. Beyond having roles in tissue homeostasis, stellate cells are increasingly implicated in pathological fibrogenic and inflammatory programs that contribute to tissue fibrosis and that constitute a growth-permissive tumor microenvironment. Although the capacity of stellate cells for extracellular matrix production and remodeling has long been appreciated, recent research efforts have demonstrated diverse roles for stellate cells in regulation of epithelial cell fate, immune modulation, and tissue health. Our present understanding of stellate cell biology in health and disease is discussed here, as are emerging means to target these multifaceted cells for therapeutic benefit.
