If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

• Quiz: mean = last term, ~6/9 (not good enough),
?
– didn’t study enough,
– studied, did well, with tinkering will master,
– studied, but didn’t do too well,
• probably memorized terms, without grounding the words in reality.
• Midterm I: one week from Friday,
– Essay questions due Tuesday afternoon, 3 pm.
• email to young@biol.wwu.edu,
– Subject Line must say 206 Question,
– Include your name, if your email address is esoteric,
• 2 extra credit point (maximum) if you provide at least one GOOD question,
and email it, on time, and with correct subject line.

Transport
…molecular and ionic movement from one location
to another,
– H2O,
– Sugars,
– Minerals,
– Gases,
– Other Macromolecules: proteins, RNA, hormones, etc.
Plant Transport
(What’s Transported)
Xylem
• H2O,
– uptake by roots, transport via
xylem, loss to the atmosphere
and metabolic process,
• Minerals (in solution),
– Uptake by roots, loss to
senescence, herbivory, etc.
Plant Transport
(What’s Transported)
Stomates
• Gases,
– CO2, O2, H2O.
– N2, ethylene, etc.
Plant Transport
(What’s Transported)
Phloem
bydirecional
• Sugars,
• other organics,
– hormones,
– amino acids,
– etc.
Plant Transport
(What’s Transported)
Gas Exchange/Respiration
• Roots,
»
– uptake O2,
– discharge CO2.
Plant Transport
Across Membrane(s)

Symplastic and Apoplastic
Then
What Drives Transport?
Gravity,
Pressure,
Electrical fields,
(for charged substances),
Concentration gradients,
(entropy-driven diffusion).
Mechanisms of Transport
in organisms
• Diffusion, by molecular motion,
– good only at short distances,
• Pump, Channel and Carrier mediated transport,
– small molecules across membranes,
• Osmosis (water across membranes),
• Bulk Flow,
– efficient large-scale, mass movement.

Adolf Fick: Contributions
• Ophtalmotonometer – Intraocular pressure
• Aneroid manometer – Vascular grad (BP)
• Pneumograph – Peripheral thorax variation link
• Plethysmography – I/O of blood, air in lungs, etc.
• Dynamometer – Muscle output
• Laws of diffusion 1855
• Contact lens
Fick’s Law and Organisms
(tc = 1/2) for a molecule to move (p = 0.5) a set distance (L)...
tc = 1/2 =
L2
Ds
… is equal to the distance (L) squared divided by the
diffusion coefficient (Ds).
• Ds for sucrose is ~10-9 m2 s-1,
– 50 mm:
– 1 m:
tc = 1/2 = 2.5 seconds,
tc = 1/2 = 32 years.

Osmosis
…the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane,
– water (free) moves from a region of higher H2O concentration, to a region of
lower H2O concentration, until in equilibrium,
…the concentration of water is lowered by the addition of solutes.

Bulk Flow
Jean Louis Marie Poiseuille (Poiseuille’s Law, ~1838)
…the concentrated movement of groups of molecules,
– in response to gravity, i.e. rain, rivers, etc.,
– in biological systems, most often in response to pressure.
