- Every winter, the cohesion of water molecules in xylem is interrupted by ice formation. What do trees do in the spring that compensates for this problem?*arrow_forwardWhat is the significance of knowing the different weed species associated with crops?arrow_forwardStomata are pores on the surface of plant leaves that allow for gaseous exchange. The numbers below shows the density of stomata on the leaf surfaces of three species of plants. Based on this information, which statement is incorrect? Stomata Density: Elodea (upper epidermis) = 0, (lower epidermis) = 0, Water Lily (upper) = 420, (lower) = 0, Black Walnut (upper) = 0, (lower) = 465 a) Since Elodea does not have any stomata, it does not carry out photosynthesis. b) In Elodea’s aquatic environment, stomata are not used to control gas exchange. c) Since black walnut trees thrive on land, stomata are located on lower surface to decrease the amount of water lost in the heat of the sun. d) Since water lilies live on the surface of water, transpiration occurs from the upper epidermis because that is where it is in contact with air.arrow_forward
