Water movement in plants is important in water transport from the roots into the shoots and leaves
effects photosynthesis
higher solute concentration and a lower water potential as compared to the other solution;
cell will fill with water, become larger
interactions between selectively permeable membranes, water, and solutes are important in cellular and organismal functions.
Homeostasis and similar processes
How could you determine which solution is isotonic to the cells?
Equal amounts of the solution in and outside of the cell
hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration and a higher water potential than the solution on the other side
cell will shrink, water moves out
Isotonic solutions have equal water potentials
still movement, never stops moving, cycle
embedded proteins
Integral, Surface and Peripherial proteins
gymnosperms
A plant that has seeds, unprotected by an ovary or fruit.
angiosperms
A plant that produces seeds, and flowers, that are enclosed by carpel.
aerobic life
We require oxygen to survive and produce carbon dioxide, producing for plants (cycle).
Mechanical defenses, such as the presence of thorns on plants or the hard shell on turtles, discourage animal predation and herbivory by causing physical pain to the predator or by physically preventing the predator from being able to eat the prey.
Defense towards predators.
The steps of the scientific method will be examined in detail later, but one of the most important aspects of this method is the testing of hypotheses by means of repeatable experiments.
Determining if your hypothesis is correct or if you need to alter it and retest your hypothesis.
