This diagram shows the movement of water through the root
Water is found in the spaces between the soil particles. Water enters through
the cell wall and cell membrane of the root hair cell by osmosis. Water fillsthe vacuole of the root hair cell.
Water can now move across the parenchyma cells of the cortex in two ways:
Most of the water passes along the cell walls of the parenchyma cells by
diffusion. Movement of water and solutes between the intercellular spaceswithout crossing the plasma membrane is known as apoplastic movement.
Some of the water passes from the vacuole of one parenchyma cell to the vacuole
of the next cell by osmosis. Movement of water and solutes through the cells isknown as symplastic movement.
The water must pass through the endodermis to enter the xylem.
Once water is in the xylem of the root, it will pass up the xylem of the stem.

Investigation: water uptake by roots
Aim : To measure the uptake of water by roots
Apparatus
Plastic 2 litre Coke bottle
water
soil
scissors
measuring scale
tree or plant cuttings
ruler
Method
Remove the label from the Coke bottle. Cut the top of the bottle off 20cm from
the bottom of the bottle. Poke holes in the bottom of the bottle for drainage.Hold the plant cutting in the container while you fill the container with soil.
Leave one or two leaf buds about 5cm above the soil.
Weigh the container to get the total weight of the bottle, soil and plant.
Water the plant with enough water so that it starts to run out of the bottom of
the bottle through the holes.
Weigh the container again after the water has stopped running out and subtract
the total weight in step 2 from the weight in step 4 to get the weight of thewater. 1 litre of water is equal to 1 kilogram of water, therefore you can work
out exactly how much water is in the container.
Set the containers by the window where they will receive enough sunlight. Wait
for the leaves to start growing (1-3 weeks).
After the leaves are growing, weigh the containers every 1-3 days for 3 weeks.
Subtract the new weight from the weight calculated in step 4. The new number isthe amount of water that the plant is using. Water the plant as necessary (when
the soil becomes dry), but remember to reweigh the container when you add morewater so that you can still tell how much water the plant is taking up.
Draw a graph of the amount of water the plant is using. The X-axis should show
the number of days since the beginning of the experiment and the Y-axis shouldshow the amount of water that the plant has used.
Question on investigation – Surely as the plant grows it forms new leaves
etc which have mass? How do we subtract the mass of the new leaves to prevent
this making the mass of the entire container inaccurate in terms of how much
mass is
Communication is effective because it allows individuals to share ideas, thoughts, and information with others.
effective communication can lead to improved outcomes in various settings, including personal relationships, business environments, and educational settings. By communicating effectively, individuals can negotiate effectively, solve problems collaboratively, and work towards common goals.

Every time someone flushes a toilet in the apartment building, the person begins to jumb back automatically after hearing the flush, before the water temperature changes. Identify the types of learning, if it is classical conditioning identify the NS, UCS, CS and CR. If it is operant conditioning, identify the type of consequence positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement or punishment
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.

I am taking this course because I am hoping that I could somehow learn more about my chosen field of interest and due to the fact that being a PsyD really ignites my passion as an individual the more I hope to learn about developing and literally explore the complexity of my critical thinking skills
hello. autism is a umbrella term. autistic kids have different disorder overlapping. for example. a kid may show symptoms of ADHD and also learning disabilities.
before treatment please make sure the kid doesn't have physical disabilities like hearing..vision..speech problem. sometimes these

continue..
sometimes due to these physical problems..the diagnosis may be misdiagnosed.
treatment for autism.
well it depends on the severity.
since autistic kids have problems in communicating and adopting to the environment.. it's best to expose the child in situations where the child

child interact with other kids under doc supervision.
play therapy.
speech therapy.
Engaging in different activities that activate most parts of the brain.. like drawing..painting. matching color board game.
string and beads game.
the more you interact with the child the more effective

results you'll get..
please consult a therapist to know what suits best on your child.
and last as a parent. I know sometimes it's overwhelming to guide a special kid.
but trust the process and be strong and patient as a parent.
