Investigating Plant Structure and Function: Transport in Plants

The video tutorial explains the process of sap collection from maple trees and its conversion into maple syrup. It discusses the transport of materials in plants, focusing on vascular tissues and the exchange of gases through stomata. The concept of transpiration is explored, highlighting the significant water loss in large trees and the role of guard cells. Finally, the video covers translocation, the movement of dissolved food through phloem.

What is the process called when water vapor is emitted from plants?

How do guard cells regulate the opening and closing of stomata?

What factors influence the activity of guard cells?

Describe how water is absorbed and transported in plants.
