Plant Transport
Stem Tissues: An Indepth Look Nodes: where the leaf meets the stem. Internodes: space between the nodes. Analogy: like your joints

Stem Tissues: An Indepth Look
Xylem + cambium + phloem = vascular bundles
Stem Tissues: An Indepth Look Bark cambium: to protect the insides of a tree.
Stem Tissues: An Indepth Look
Questions to Ponder… Why would girdling, the removal of bark and vascular cambium in a narrow ring all the way around a tree, result in the death of a tree? If you remove the apical meristem from a dicot plant, what would be the effect on further plant growth? Of what value are tubers, a type of stem modification, to the survival of a plant species?
Root Tissues: Closer Look Brainstorm: If you were to design the perfect root system for a plant, how might it look like? --spidery for increase surface area --longer, to draw more nutrients and water, more spread out with less competition for resources. --sturdy to survive tough weather

Root Tissues: Closer Look How does water pass through to get into root for transport? Symplastic Route (class exchange): Apoplactic Route (going through hall ways): Epidermis endodermis pericycle or cambium xylem
Root Tissues: Closer Look How do ions get into roots?
Root Tissues: Closer Look The Hydrogen Pump (1)Uses Active transport (ATP) to move the proton (hydrogen ions) from the cytoplasm To the lysoome (or one area to another) (2) The protein changes shape to bring H ions through: The protein is conformation A When it receives an ion. Under ATP, it turns to conformation B to release the ion to the Other side.
