  8. Summary of Transport Processes

  9. Transport within the eukaryotic cell Endomembrane system • Endoplasmic reticulum • manufacturing and transport facility • proteins produced in rough ER are packaged in vesicles • Golgi apparatus • modification and storage facility • receiving end and shipping end • Vacuole • large membrane bound sacs • usually stores undigested nutrients Cyclosis/cytoplasmic streaming

  10. Transport in Plants

  11. Core Concepts Transport at cellular level depends on the selective permeability of membranes. • Transport at the cellular level may involve any one or a combination of the following: • Passive transport (diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis) through the cell membrane • Active transport (e.g. “proton pumps” )through the cell membrane • Transport of large molecules involving endocytosis, vesicles, and exocytocis • Cyclosis (cytoplasmic streaming • Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi Apparatus, Vacuole • Plant Transport • Root hairs, mycorrhiza , and a large surface area of cortical cells enhance water and mineral absorption. • The waxy Casparian strip of the endodermis regulates movement of water and minerals from the cortex to the stele. • Nutrients from the soil and air are transported within a plant by the vascular tissue which are continuous throughout the plant body. • Uptake and release of water and solutes by individual cells, such as the absorption of water and minerals from the soil by the root cells. • Short distance or lateral transport of minerals and water in the roots either move across the root cortex to the vascular cylinder in 3 ways or a combination of routes: • through a continuum of cytosol based on the plasmodesmata which are protoplast connecting channels through walls (symplast). • Through a continuum of cell walls and extra cellular spaces (apoplast). • by repeated crossing of the plasma membranes and walls of the cells along the pathway (trans-membrane) • Long-distance transport of sap is accomplished by the xylem and phloem • The xylem vessels and tracheids are the main conducting vessels that move water and minerals to various plant parts as described in the Cohesion-Tension theory. • The sieve tubes of the phloem are the main conducting vessels that move food to various plant parts as described in the Pressure Flow Theory.

  12. Vascular tissues: xylem and phloem • Xylem • Tracheids* • Vessel elements* • Parenchyma cells • Fiber • Phloem • Sieve-tube members • Companion cells • Sclerenchyma fibers • Parenchyma cells • Both are continuous throughout the plant body

  13. Transport occurs on three levels • Uptake and release of water and solutes by individual cells • Short-distance transport of substances by tissues and organs • Long-distance transport of minerals in water and sap within xylem and phloem by the whole plant body

  14. Transport in Plants occurs in three levels: 1. uptake and release of water and solutes by individual cells e.g. absorption of water and minerals from the soil by the root cells. 2. short-distance transport of substances from cell to cell at the level of tissues and organs, e.g. sugar loading from photosynthetic cells of mature leaves into the sieve tubes of phloem 3. long-distance transport of sap e.g. within the xylem and phloem at the level of the whole plant.

  15. 2 3 4 Through stomata, leaves take in CO2 and expel O2. The CO2 provides carbon for photosynthesis. Some O2produced by photosynthesis is used in cellular respiration. 1 Sugars are produced by photosynthesis in the leaves. Transpiration, the loss of water from leaves (mostly through stomata), creates a force within leaves that pulls xylem sap upward. 6 5 7 Water and minerals are transported upward from roots to shoots as xylem sap. Roots absorb water and dissolved minerals from soil Root hairs & mycorrhizae increase surface area for absorption Roots exchange gases with the air spaces of soil, taking in O2 and discharging CO2. In cellular respiration, O2 supports the breakdown of sugars. A variety of physical processes are involved in the different types of transport CO2 O2 Light H2O Sugar Sugars are transported as phloem sap to roots and other parts of the plant.

  16. ACTIVE TRANSPORT (USE OF “PUMPS”)TRANSPORT OF IONS AT THE CELLULAR LEVEL DEPENDS ON SELECTIVELY PERMEABLE MEMBRANES • Controls the movement of solutes into and out of the cell • With specific transport proteins • Enable plant cells to maintain an internal environment different from their surroundings

  17. Short-distance H2O transport from the soil to the root xylem occurs through diffusion

  18. Short distance or lateral transport of minerals and water in the roots either move across the root cortex to the vascular cylinder in 3 ways or a combination of routes: • through a continuum of cytosol based on the plasmodesmata which are protoplast connecting channels through walls (symplast). • Through a continuum of cell walls and extra cellular spaces (apoplast). • by repeated crossing of the plasma membranes and walls of the cells along the pathway (trans-membrane)

  19. WATER AND MINERALS ASCEND FROM ROOTS TO SHOOTS THROUGH THE XYLEMROOT PRESSURETRANSPIRATION–COHESION–TENSION THEORY Tension – negative pressure

  20. Cuticle Upper epidermal tissue Lower epidermal tissue Trichomes (“hairs”) 100 m Stomata Stomata help regulate the rate of transpiration Leaves – broad surface areas • Increase photosynthesis • Increase water loss through stomata (transpiration) Turgid Flaccid

  22. Vessel (xylem) Sieve tube (phloem) Source cell (leaf) Loading of sugar (green dots) into the sieve tube at the source reduces water potential inside the sieve-tube members. This causes the tube to take up water by osmosis. 1 H2O Sucrose 1 H2O 2 2 This uptake of water generates a positive pressure that forces the sap to flow along the tube. 3 The pressure is relieved by the unloading of sugar and the consequent loss of water from the tubeat the sink. Transpiration stream Pressure flow 4 In the case of leaf-to-root translocation, xylem recycles water from sink to source. Sink cell (storage root) 4 3 Sucrose H2O ORGANIC NUTRIENTS ARE TRANSLOCATED THROUGH THE PHLOEM(PRESSURE – FLOW MODEL of PHLOEM SAP TRANSPORT) • Translocation – transport of organic molecules in the plant • Phloem sap • Mostly sucrose • Sugar source  sugar sink • Source is a producer of sugar • Sink is a consumer/storage facility for sugar

  23. Pressure – flow model • high solute concentration at sugar source • increase in hydrostatic pressure at source end of phloem attracts & draws more H2O from xylem • bulk flow of H2O from source end of phloem move sugars towards a sugar sink
