Transportation and Transpiration of the Plants
Objective :
Ø Students identifying the main sites of transportation in plant.
Ø Students can explain the function of xylem and phloem.
Ø Students can explain the main sites of transportation in plant.
Device and Materials :
1. Celery or Kingkong Plant
2. Bottle or aqua glass trace
3. Syrup (red colored water)
Work Procedures / Method :
Step 1 : Place celery stem or kingkong plants, with its leaves in fact, in a beaker of colored water.
Step 2 : Place a second stem of about the same weight, but with all its leaves removed in another beaker of colored water.
Step 3 : After 20 minutes, remove both stalks cut the stems and regular intervals to see how far the colored water had risen.
Experiments :
First, in here experiments I using kingkong plant for the beginning . After that, we put kingkong’s plant trunk into an aqua glass trace already been filled red colored liquid, after that waiting for about 20 minutes .
The second, after about 20 minutes lifts kingkong's plant trunk and cleft its trunk become two parts and from that we can see, does the trunk have red or not.
Result of Experiment :
From experiment carried out plants that have leaves successfully with xylem absorption of with approximately 2 cm for about 20 minutes. When the trunk be split, the trunk looks red as it show the function xylem as transport water from the surrounding environments.
Conclusion :
Xylem (wood vessels) the function is to transport water and minerals from the surrounding environments in the stem and leaves. Its source can be derived from the root (primary) or from other parts of plants.
Phloem (filter vessels) transport of photosynthesis (especially sugar sucrose) and other substances from the leaves towards the body parts of other plants. Both the wood vessels and the vessel filter has some rather different types of cells.
