Translocation is the term that designates the movement of soluble organic material through plants. A plant's roots serve as the entry or intake point for soluble macro and micro-nutrients to move upward from the soil, through the roots and throughout the plant thanks to capillary action. The xylem translocates solubles upward whereas the phloem transports the products of photosynthesis around and down.

What transports material to the B horizon?

Water moving through the soil carries material from the A horizon to the B horizon through a process called leaching. This process can transport nutrients, minerals, and organic matter down through the soil profile, affecting the soil's fertility and composition.


What does Streams erode their channels by abrasion by dissolving soluble material and by .?

Streams erode their channels primarily through abrasion, the mechanical wearing away of rock and sediment. They also erode through the dissolution of soluble materials in the water, such as limestone. Finally, streams can erode their channels through hydraulic action, which is the force of moving water against the channel banks.


Why will water-soluble molecules have a hard time moving through the lipid bilayer of a cell?

false


What 'c' is the name for heat flowing through solids?

Conduction. This is the process by which heat is transferred through a material without the material itself moving.


What are the 3 factors that affect a river's sediment load?

Suspended load: All organic and inorganic material carried in moving water Dissolved load: All organic and inorganic material carried in solution by moving water Bed load: Coarse materials such as gravel, stones. These things move along the bottom of the river by rolling, or sliding.


How does vacuum travel sound?

Sound is carried by vibrations moving through a material, whether the material is solid, liquid or gaseous. A vacuum is the absence of material and therefore there is no material to vibrate, hence no sound can be passed through a vacuum.


What material would most easily be carried in suspension by a slow moving stream?

Slow moving water will carry materials like sediments off of the rocks on the river bank. Slow moving water might also carry boats for example much more easily that fast moving water.


Is the transfer of heat by moving liquid or gas called conduction?

No, the transfer of heat by moving liquid or gas is called convection. Conduction is the transfer of heat through a material without the movement of the material itself.


What is a material on the bottom of a stream?

Silt is one type of material found on the bottom of a stream. Silt is fine and can be carried along in moving water, but is heavyier than water, so settles out of the water as it slows. It can be organic or mineral.


What is an example of carbon moving from an inorganic compound to an organic compound in the carbon cycle?

An example of carbon moving from an inorganic compound to an organic compound in the carbon cycle is through the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (an inorganic compound) from the atmosphere and convert it into glucose (an organic compound) through a series of chemical reactions using sunlight as an energy source.


Which is the transfer of heat through a material without movement of the material itself?

Conduction is the transfer of heat through a material without movement of the material itself. This process occurs due to direct contact between particles in the material, where faster-moving particles transfer heat energy to slower-moving particles.


The amount of water a stream or river carries in a given amount of time?

Its 'load' - Suspended load: All organic and inorganic material carried in moving water Dissolved load: All organic and inorganic material carried in solution by moving water Bed load: Coarse materials such as gravel, stones. These things move along the bottom of the river by rolling, or sliding.
