| Small distance transport | Diffusion
Cytoplasmic streaming Active transport |
| Translocation | Transport over a long distance
Through vascular tissues, xylem and phloem |
| Multidirectional transport | Organic compounds and mineral nutrients |
| Unidirectional Transport | Through xylem, water and minerals |
| Diffusion | Passive transport from higher to lower concentration
Gaseous movement in plants Depends on the concentration gradient, permeability, temperature and pressure |
| Facilitated diffusion | Diffusion of hydrophilic moiety through a carrier protein
Concentration gradient is required No expenditure of energy |
| Aquaporins | Water channels |
| Symport | Diffusion of two molecules in the same direction |
| Antiport | Diffusion of two molecules in the opposite direction |
| Active transport | Transport against the concentration gradient
Uphill transport Expenditure of energy |
| Osmosis | Movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane from higher potential to lower potential until equilibrium is achieved |
| Plasmolysis | Water moves out of the cell leading to shrinkage
Occurs in a hypertonic solution |
| Flaccid | When cells are kept in an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water |
| Turgid | Cells become turgid when placed in a hypotonic solution |
| Imbibition | Absorption of water by solids and colloid
E.g. water absorption by seeds, dry wood |
| Apoplastic path | Cell wall and intercellular spaces |
| Symplastic path | System of interconnected protoplast |
| Transpiration | Loss of water through evaporation |
| Guttation | Exudation of xylem sap near the tip of grasses mostly at night due to root pressure |
| Transpiration Pull | Driving force for transportation of water upwards from roots to leaves |
| Phloem translocation | Bidirectional, active process
Water, sucrose and other sugars, amino acids, hormones |
