Document Summary

Plant transport systems: plant tissues - 2 compartments, apoplast. Everything external to plasma membrane of living cells. Contains cell walls, extracellular spaces and interior of dead cells: syplast. Entire mass of cytosol of all living cells in plant and plasma desmata: 3 routes of transport, apoplastic route. Water and solutes - continuum of cell walls and extracellular spaces interconnected porous cell walls. Most of water and minerals move through this route: symplastic route. Water and solutes move along continuum of cytosol. Entry of substance into cytosol regulated by plasma membrane of 1st cell then substances can move from cell to cell via plasmodesmata. Water/solutes are going to move out of one cell, across cell wall and into the next neighboring cell. Short distance transport of water across plasma membrane: osmosis: diffusion of free water across membrane, water potential, abbreviated by greek letter (psi) 2. free e of water - amount of e available to do work.
