Questions about the Transport in Plants poster

What’s on the Transport in Plants poster?

Xylem against Phloem, side by side. Xylem: Water and minerals; Xylem: Roots to leaves, one direction; Xylem: Dead, hollow vessels; Xylem: Transpiration pull, cohesion, adhesion; Xylem: Passive — no ATP; Phloem: Sucrose and amino acids; Phloem: Source to sink, either direction; Phloem: Living sieve tube elements; Phloem: Mass flow driven by pressure; Phloem: Active loading at the source; Transpiration pull works because water molecules cohere: evaporation at the leaf pull…. The cohesion-tension theory means the water column is under negative pressure, which is why a cut stem draws air in.

Who is the Transport in Plants poster for?

Transport in Plants belongs to the Biology section rather than to a school year, because life science is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning physiology can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.

When should you use the Transport in Plants poster?

Xylem moves water up by transpiration pull. Phloem moves sugars by pressure flow. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Transport in Plants belongs on the wall where that life science work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What other posters go with Transport in Plants?

Blood Glucose Control, The Cardiac Cycle and The Circulatory System sit alongside Transport in Plants in the Biology section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Blood Glucose ControlThe Cardiac CycleThe Circulatory System

Is the Transport in Plants poster free to download and print?

Yes. Transport in Plants downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Biology section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence

What size does the Transport in Plants poster print at?

Transport in Plants is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Transport in Plants loses nothing.Printing guide
