Statement T/F?
The Rf for carotene can be determined by
What is the Rf value for carotene calculated dividing the distance the yellow-orange
from the chromatogram below? pigment (carotene) migrated by the
distance the solvent front migrated.
The Rf value of chlorophyll b will be higher
than the Rf value for chlorophyll a
If this same chromatogram were set up
and run for twice as long, the Rf values
would be twice as great for each pigment

How Are Plant Bodies Transport system
CMCHOW
Organized?
• A root system
– Anchorage
– Absorption
• A shoot system
– Photosynthesis
– Reproduction
• Vascular tissue
• Occurs in strands, called vascular bundles
• Contains both xylem and phloem.

Transport system
• Xylem: conducts water and dissolved nutrients from the roots to the
rest of the plant

• Phloem conducts substances throughout the
plant.
– sugars, amino acids, and hormones
– sieve tubes that form continuous conducting

How Do Plants Acquire Water And
Transport Water And Nutrients?
• Transpiration drives the
movement of water in xylem Water evaporates
through the stomata
of leaves
– Water evaporates through the
stomata of leaves
– Lower water concentration in water molecules
flow of water
– Hydrogen bonding between hydrogen bonds
creates a “water chain”
adjacent water molecules
– Low water pressure in the
vascular cylinder of roots
– Water absorption from soils
Water enters
the vascular
cylinder of the root
