Tracer & Ringing Experiments Tracer and ringing experiments have been used to investigate mass transport in plants It is described as a ringing experiment because it involves the?removal...
Evaluating Data Linked to Mass Flow Hypothesis The mechanism of transport that occurs within the phloem is still debated by scientists The mass flow hypothesis suggests that there is a trans...
Phloem: Mass Flow The?Mass Flow Hypothesis?was the model initially used to explain the movement of assimilates in the phloem tissue The mass flow hypothesis was modelled by Ernst Münch in 19...
The Sucrose Loading Mechanism Assimilates such as sucrose are transported from source to sink through the phloem sieve tubes Carbohydrates are generally transported in plants in the form of ...
Movement in the Phloem Although translocation could refer to the transport of substances in the xylem and phloem, as it means ‘moving from one place to another,’ it is more commonly connecte...
Apparatus & Techniques: Using a Potometer Air movement, humidity, temperature and light intensity all have an effect on the rate at which transpiration occurs The table below explains ho...
Transpiration Explained The movement of water through a plants xylem is largely due to the?evaporation of water vapour?from the?leaves?and the?cohesive?and?adhesive?properties exhibited by w...
Required Practical: Dissections Dissections are a vital part of scientific research They allow for the internal structures of organs to be examined so that theories can be made about how the...
