MASS TRANSPORT IN PLANTS- AQA A LEVEL BIOLOGY + EXAM QUESTION RUN THROUGH
In this video, I explain ALL of the content that you need to know for the "Mass transport in plants" section for AQA A Level Biology. This includes: xylem, the cohesion-tension theory (transpiration), phloem, mass flow hypothesis (translocation), the ringing experiment and tracer experiment. The content crosses over with other exam boards too.
I also take you through a few exam questions and their mark schemes.
Time stamps are in the comment section!
Please comment if you have any questions, big or small!

thank you, these videos are a great help especially the EQ walk throughs
thank you so much for these videos. the textbook is useless to me so you are a lifesaver!!
Wonderful video particularly the questions at the end.
This video was so helpful, thank you
id honestly be lost and probably would've failed without you :)
at 5. on mass flow hypothesis, shouldn't it be water exit by osmosis then decreased hydrostatic pressure? it doesnt make sense to me
8:20 do u mean d sucrose is transported by diffusion, and isn't sucrose to big to pass through the cell through diffusion
I have a question. When you were explaining the process you said "to the companion cells" but in the mark scheme it said "by the companion cells" could you just explain that please as I am a little confused. Thank you ❤️

Hi! I explained the mass flow hypothesis in quite a lot of detail, but in reality you only need to know it on the level of detail that the mark scheme says. So you can write "by companion cells" in the exam😁. I hope that helped?

So basically I said sugars are transported to the companion cells then the phloem but in the exam you just need to write that the sugars are transported into the phloem via companion cells as companion cells are like an intermediate step if you get what I mean?
for 7:20, number 3 shouldnt it be "decreases the volume and therefore increases the hydrostatic pressure" ? not the other way around?

Hi! Hydrostatic pressure is pressure created by large volumes of liquid. So if there is a high volume of liquid (water), this creates a high pressure. So hydrostatic pressure doesn't work in the same way in which gaseous pressure, in which high volumes would decrease pressure. Hope that makes sense? :)

@7.34 how come the sugar molecules leave by osmosis if the concentration of them has decreased? or is there still a large enough concentration gradient maintained for them to leave?

Hi, that is a typo and is supposed to say water! Sorry about that :)

at 12:43 can you say by co-transport instead of Active transport?
@AlevelBiologyHelp

I think you would get the mark because it's technically co-transport, although it doesn't say "accept co-transport". It doesn't say "do not accept co-transport" so that should be fine :)
Does anyone know if you specifically need to use sieve tube elements as a key word or is it okay just to say 'phloem' or 'phloem cells'

To be on the safe side use sieve tube elements.

i think sieve tube elements as we all know how picky mark schemes are
Do you not need to know the apoplast and symplast pathways for transpiration?
