Transport in plantsons Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Need for transport systems in multicellular plants *Metabollic demands* - Not all parts of the plant photosynthesise and make *glucose* so need O2 and glucose to respire and waste products of cell metabolism need to be removed. *Hormones* and *Mineral ions* also need to be transported to have an effect (Mineral ions make proteins for enzymes cell structure in all cells) *Size* - Large plants need very *effective* transport systems to move substances up and down (root to leaf) *SA:Vol*...
