In the war of sun and dryness againts living

things, life has its secrets of survival. Live,

no matter on what level, must be moist or it
will disappear.

PLANTS ROLE

KEINDAHAN DAN REKREASI

BACKGROUND

Kelangsungan hidup tumbuhan (proses

pertumbuhan dan metabolisme) tidak
terlepas dari peranan air.
70% non woody plants
20% drought tolerant plants
5% dry seed

BACKGROUND
Peranan fisiologis air dalam tumbuhan.
Regulasi thermal
The most universal solvents
Medium for almost chemical reactions
Main metabolic ingredients
Growth and maintaining plants upright.
Sifat fisika dan
sifat kimia molekul
air

On the contrary; Scr fisiologis, tumbuhan

bukanlah system penyimpan air yang
efisien.
1 gram fotosintat 500 gram air

Tumbuhan memiliki sistem penyerapan

air yang optimal
Untuk 1 gram metabolit 500 gr air
(diserap dr akar, ditransport ke seluruh bag
tumbuhan, dikeluarkan ke atmosfer)
Little imballance defisit air malfungsi
proses2 seluler.

Water Transport Process

When water moves from the soil through
the plant to the atmosfer, it travels through
a widely variable medium (cell wall,
cytoplasm, membrane, air spaces)
the mechanisms of water transport also
vary with the type of medium
The journey of water, therefore mainly
happen inside the cells

Water Transport Process

PASSIVE TRANSPORT
Movement across a membrane without
using energy (diffusion and osmosis)
(simplast & apoplast).

DIFFUSI
ON
Movement of
PARTICLES from
high concentration to
low concentration up
to reach its dynamic
equilibrium
Dynamic equilibrium =
the number of
particles come in is
as much as the
number of particles
come out

Macam difusi :
Simple diffusion
Doesnt require E
Because of gradient concentration
and particles motion
Facilitated diffusion
Doesnt require E
Require a protein transport assistance
Particularly for polar molecules ;
amino acids, glucose

GAS DIFFUSION
Give me example of gas diffusion on plant!
Exchange of CO2, H2O, O2, etylene, atsiri,
pollutant into and out of cell
Happens entirely on stomata
Further discussion on transpiration chapter

DIFUSI CO2, O2 DAN H2O

CO2

O2

H 2O

Atsiri
Etilen
pollutant

OSMOSIS
is the process by wich
WATER passes
through a differentially
permeable membrane up to
reach its dynamic equilibrium

Water
Diffusion/osmosis
Difusi langsung melewati membran (cell
walls atau plasma membranes) tidak
mencukupi untuk memenuhi kebutuhan sel
Mekanisme lain aquaporins
Aquaporins: protein integral yang
membentuk channel selektif untuk transport
molekul air dalam jumlah besar
Bulk flow aliran kolektif air dalam jumlah
besar sesuai dengan hukum pergerakan
partikel.

HELP ME, PLEASE !!

A.
Plasma membrane

Water comes in continually

Turgor
pressure

What will happen ???

B.

((

What is going on to
these cells ?

 The illustrations show that solvent [pelarut/air] passes

through plasma membrane, but not the solute [zat terlarut]
It proves that plasma membrane is a selective /
differentially permeable
Membrane permeability depends on:

Transported solute
Hydration level
Thickness

SIFAT MEMBRAN
Sifat membran
permeabel
semi permeabel
selektif permeabel
impermeabel

+/-

+ = dapat lewat
- = tidak
Contoh membran : membran plasma, membran
vakuola, membran kloroplas

 SIMPLAST
Adalah jalur transport air dan
zat terlarut didalamnya
melalui protoplasma.
Relevansi ke fisiologi.

SIMPLAST

APOPLAST
Adalah jalur air dan zat terlarut
melalui ruang antar sel.
Relevansi ke fisiologi.

APOPLAS

ACTIVE TRANSPORT
Characterized by;

Require E
Work against concentration gradient
Require protein transport assistance
For particular ions; ex. Na and K
