Nutrient and Water Delivery/ Food Delivery

Nutrient and Water Delivery

I watered my babies about every 5 days or so. I wouldn't let them get too dry and i wouldn't let them get too wet.

 Six Terms and Two RolesThat Have to do with Nutrient and Water Delivery:

• Transpiration: The evaporated loss of water from a plant. During transpiration the water flows from the roots through the stem and out of the plant. So you must keep fresh water in your plants because it will evaporate.
• Turgor Pressure: The force directed against a plant cell wall after the influx of water and swelling of the cell due to osmosis
• Vascular Tissue: Plant tissue consisting of cells joined into tubes that transport water and nutrients throughout the plant body. This definitely helps the plant with nutrients and water delivery because it flows all throughout the plant.
• Xylem: Vascular plant tissue that consisting mainly of tubular dead cells that conduct most of the water and minerals upward from the roots to the rest of the plant.It does this by the help of transpiration
• Stomata:  One of the tiny openings in the epidermis of a plant, through which gases and water vapor pass. Stomata permit the absorption of carbon dioxide necessary for photosynthesis from the air, as well as the removal of excess oxygen.
• Guard Cells: The two cells that flank the stomatal pore and regulate the opening and closing of the pore. It knows when to let different air or water vapor out and when to save it.
• How soil contributes to plant growth: Soil contributes to plant growth by nutriens within the soil, the pH balance, water and anchoring. The pH balance help germinate the seed. The soil helps absorb and provide water and nutrients. Also it helps to anchor the plants so they can grow healthy.
• Role of The Casparian Strip: The casparian strip is a water- impermeable ring of wax in the endodermal cells of plants that blocks the passive flow of water and solutes into the stele by way of cell walls.

Food Delivery

Translocation: the conduction of soluble food material from one part of a plant to another.

Phloem: Vascular plant tissue consisting of living celles arranged into elongated tubes that transport sugar and other organic nutrients throughout the plant
