Answer:

Water is pulled up through xylem to the leaves of the plants by the process of transpiration. Following steps take place during this process:

  • It is known as the transpiration stream
  • The water enter the roots from the soil by the osmosis
  • After that the water either enter the cell wall of the xylem or goes to the cortex cell
  • Next, as the water from the leaves is being  evaporated ,a negative pressure is created at this end(leaf end of the xylem) ,a positive pressure at the other end of the xylem(root end)
  • This change in the potential  gradient causes the water to move up the xylem to the leaf through diffusion .

In an experiment, Marlene removes the six anthers from the flower. What best describes the ability of the altered flower to form
Alik [6]

Ans.

In flowering plants, the male reproductive part or stamen is made up of a stack-like structure, known as filament and an ovule-like structure, known as anther. In anthers, microsporangia are present that produce pollen through mitosis.

Thus, 'if anthers are removed from a flower, it will not be able to form seeds as seeds are developed from zygote, that forms by the fusion of male gamete (pollen) and female gamete (ovum).'

Water can move freely through the membrane from a higher to a lower concentration in a transportation process called _____.
nignag [31]

Answer: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is osmosis.

Osmosis is defined as the movement of solvent (like water) from a region where the concentration of solute is lower to a region where the concentration of solute is higher though a semipermeable membrane.

In other words, it is the water movement from an area where its ( water ) concentration is higher to an area where its concentration is lower.

This process does not require any energy as water is moving along the concentration gradient.
