This A Level Biology lesson resource explores the movement of water in plants through the apoplast and symplast pathways. Students will learn how water travels across the root cortex towards the xylem, including the role of the cell wall, intercellular spaces, cytoplasm, and plasmodesmata. The resource explains how cohesion, adhesion, and osmosis drive water transport, and how the Casparian strip regulates the movement of water into the vascular system. With clear diagrams, step-by-step explanations, and exam-style practice questions, this lesson is designed to meet the AQA, OCR, and Edexcel A Level Biology specifications. Ideal for classroom teaching, revision, or independent study, it provides students with a strong understanding of plant transport systems and water movement mechanisms.
This resource includes:
- A power point to use with students
- A power point for students to use
- A key word activity
- Slides on water transport
