- Plant transport systems
- Metabolic demands
- Oxygen and Glucose needs to be transported to roots underground.
- Wate products of cell metabolism removed.
- Hormones need transporting
- Minerals need to be transported to the cell to make proteins and structure.
- Size
- Substances need to move up and down from the tip of the roots to the topmost leaves and stems.
- Huge variation
- Surface area to volume ratio
- Multicellular complex
- SA:V ratio fairly small.
- Can't rely on diffusion alone.
- Metabolic demands
