Question : Minerals are present in the soil in sufficient amounts. Do plants need to adjust the type of solutes that reach the xylem? Which molecules help to adjust this? How do plants regulate the type and quantity of solutes that reach xylem ? |
|
Answer» Solution :Yes, plants need to adjust the type and quantity of solutes that reach the xylem. The transport proteins of endodermal cell help in maintaining and adjusting solute movement. As the minerals are present in SOII as charged particles with a very low concentration as compared of roots, they, all cannot be completely passively transorted across cell membranes of root hairs. THUS, minerals are transported both by active and PASSIVE processes, to the xylem. Upon reaching xylem, they are further transported, i.e., upwards to sinks through transpiration steam. At the sink regions mineral ions are unloaded through diffusion and active uptake by receptor cells. Some of the mineral ions moving frequently through xylem are (i) Nitrogen tranvels in plants as inorganic ions `NO_(2)` and `NO_(3)` but much of the nitrogen moves in the found of amino acids and related organic compounds. (ii) Sulphur and Phosphorus small amount of these two nutrients are carried in organic forms. (iii) Mineral ions are freuently remobilised particularly from older senescing parts. Older dying leaves export much of their mineral content to younder leaves. Similarly, before LEAF falls in decidous plants, minerals are REMOVED to other parts. Elements most readily mobilised are phosphorus, sulphur, nitogen and potassium. Some elements that are structural components like calcium are not remobilised. |

Question : Minerals are present in the soil in sufficient amounts. Do plants need to adjust the types of solutes that reach the xylem? Which molecules help to adjust this? How do plants regulate the type and quantity of solutes that reach xylem? |
|
Answer» Solution :Adjustment of solutes occur by:(i) By active absorption of minerals. (ii) XYLEM parenchyma also takes PART in xylem loading. It bears pump and ion channels. (iii) Endodermis bears passage cells for the entrance of minerals into xylem. (IV) EASILY mobilised elements are phosphorus, sulphur, nitrogen and POTASSIUM. |

Question : Minerals are present in the soil in sufficient amounts. Do plants need to adjust the type of solutes that reach the xylem ? Which molecules help to adjust this ? How do plants regulate the type and quantity of solutes that reach xylem ? |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :Yes the plant ADJUSTS the QUANTITY and types of solutes that reach the xylem. The protein present in cells of endodermis helps for this type of adjustment Compared to roots, mineral ions present in soil are of low CONCENTRATION. They all do not completely pass through cell wall of root hair. This way mineral salts are transported till xylem through active transport and passive transport. After reaching to xylem they move to required parts in upward direction. Where mineral ions enter into symport through diffusion and become active by receptor cell. Some mineral ions flow fast in xylem : (i) Nitrogen moves in plant in the form of inorganic ions `NO_2` and `NO_3`. But more Nitrogen flows in the form of Amino acid them organic compounds. (ii) Sulphur, phosphorus These both elements move in organic form in very SMALL quantity. (iii) From older organs of plants mineral ions are translocated fast. Minerals are transformed into new leaves from old falling leaves. In shed loving plants, minerals take place in other plants before falling of leaves. |

Question : Minerals enter a plant mainly by(a) diffusion(b) pressure flow(c) translocation(d) active transport |
|
Answer» diffusion |
|
| 14810. |
Question : Minerals absorbed by the roots travel up the xylem. How do they reach the parts where they are needed most ? Do all the parts of the plant get the same amount of the minerals ? |
|
Answer» Solution :Absorbed salts reach to various parts of the plant by transpiration through stem. Their main storage place is developing parts of the plant like apical and LATERAL meristematic tissue, mature leaves developing flowers, fruits, seeds and storage organs. Xylem tissue MOVES upward in TRANSPORT of ions by diffusion and active transport. While organic food is transported by phloem tissue. Translocation of ions is done from old parts of the plant to matured parts. Some elements like phosphorus, sulphur, nitrogen, potassium and other elements which are PRESENT in constituent elements they do not TRANSLOCATE. e.g. calcium. |

Answer» SOLUTION :
|
|
| 14840. |
Question : Micronutrients and macronutrients of plants |
| Answer» Solution :The roots of green plants absorb a large number of elements from the soil. Some of these elements are ABSOLUTELY necessary for normal growth and development of the plant. These elements, said to be MACRONUTRIENTS, are potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, SULPHUR and phosphorus. Macronutrients must be present in plant TISSUES in concentration of at least one milligram per gram of dry matter. There are other elements which are specifically required by the plant in very minute quantities, and these elements are known as micronutrients. MANGANESE, copper, molybdenum, zinc and boron are essential micronutrients. | |
