What is the phenomenon of apical dominance in plants? How can it be artificially eliminated? |
|
Answer» Apical dominance is the phenomenon through which high (over the positive range limit) auxin concentrations due to auxins from the apical bud moving downward the stem inhibit the growth of the lateral buds of the plant. At the beginning of the stem development the apical dominance causes the plant growth to be longitudinal (upwards) since the growth of the lateral buds remains inhibited. As the lateral buds become more distant from the apex the auxin concentration in these buds lowers and shoots grow more easily. The growth of tree branches can be stimulated preventing the apical dominance through the removal of the apical bud. |

What is capillarity? How is this phenomenon chemically explained? What is the relevance of capillarity for water transport in plants? |
|
Answer» Capillarity is the phenomenon through which water moves inside extremely thin tubes (capillaries) aided by the attraction between water molecules and the capillary wall. The capillarity phenomenon is possible because water is a polar molecule and forms intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Therefore there is electrical attraction (adhesion force) between the capillary wall and the water molecules that then pull each other (cohesion force) since they are bound. Not just water but other liquids may move inside capillaries by capillarity. Capillarity is not too relevant for the transport of water in plants. It contributes only to a few centimeters of ascension. |
