Water potential (Ѱ) - predicts movement of free water by osmosis (high → low)

Produce electrical signals (like animal action potentials), using Ca2+-activated ion channels

Posted in it's literally just biology Posted 5 years ago

Gated ion channels open/close in response to chemicals, pressure, or voltage

H+ cotransporter - movement of sugar/ion against its concentration gradient is coupled with movement of H+ down its electrochemical gradient (loads sucrose into phloem, nitrates into roots)

Posted in it's literally just biology Posted 5 years ago

Proton pumps pump H+ out of plant cells to establish membrane potential

Posted in it's literally just biology Posted 5 years ago

H+ ions play primary role in basic transport (short-distance)

Posted in it's literally just biology Posted 5 years ago

Selective permeability of plasma membrane, active/passive transport, pumps/transport proteins

Transmembrane route - water/solutes move out of one cell, across cell wall, into next cell

Posted in it's literally just biology Posted 5 years ago

Symplastic route - water/solutes move along the continuum of cytosol (thru plasmodesmata)

Posted in it's literally just biology Posted 5 years ago

Apoplastic route - water/solutes move along continuum of cell walls and extracellular spaces

Posted in it's literally just biology Posted 5 years ago

Symplast - entire cytosol of all living cells and plasmodesmata

Posted in it's literally just biology Posted 5 years ago

Apoplast - everything external to plasma membrane of living cells. Cell walls, extracellular spaces, interior of dead cells (vessel elements, tracheids)

Mycorrhizal hyphae increase SA for absorbing water and minerals (esp. phosphate)
