Vascular Transport
Active transport is used for
transportation of water, metabolic
waste, hormones, minerals and
gases
Complex Vascular systems is
used by multicellular plants and
animals because cells as parts of
the multicellular organism no
longer have free access to the
external environment; they must
depend on some sort of circulatory
system
A. In Animals fins of a guppy fish
Vascular or circulatory system
is composed of the heart, blood
vessels, lymphatic system that
carry not only oxygen but also
carbon dioxide, lipids,
carbohydrates, proteins,
hormones, metabolic waste
and other substance to all
parts of the body to be used,
stored and excreted
B. Plants
Bidirectional is the way of how transport of
sap occurs; DOWNWARD flow carries
organic molecules; UPWARD flow carries
water and dissolved ions from the soil by the
roots; both must penetrate to all tissues;
THE CIRCULATION
Pholoem
downward flow
Xylem upward
flow
Water escapes
from the leaves
by transpiration
Stomatal flow
open up to allow
CO22 to enter
Replaced by
conduction from
the vessels of
the Xylem
Long columns of
sap is lifted in
the xylem
Transpiration of
water adn
internal
cohesion of the
sap columnn
occurs
