Transport in Plants
• Describe the external and internal structure of roots and stems.
• Describe absorption of water and uptake of mineral salts by roots.
• Describe the movement of water and transport of mineral salts from the roots to the leaves.
• Describe the movement of organic solutes in phloem.
• Demonstrate the process of transpiration.
• Investigate factors that affect the rate of Transpiration
• Describe adaptive features of a leaf to reduce excess loss of water.
• Explain the significance of transpiration in plants.|Biology textbooks, plant models, charts of root and stem cross-sections, and a potometer were used for demonstrations. A Mid-Term Test was administered during this period (class average 60%).|Strong pupils quickly grasped complex concepts like the movement of organic solutes in phloem. Most learners understood the basics of water absorption and transpiration. However, weaker pupils struggled with detailed explanations of adaptive features and factors affecting transpiration rate. The Mid-Term Test results showed a mixed performance with a class average of 60%, indicating that a significant group needs reinforcement on the mechanisms of transport.||
