Evaporation of water and uptake of minerals and water is a function of transpiration.
Transpiration causes water to take up the heat of the organs or the energy from sunlight and convert into water vapour causing evaporation of water.
Transpiration pull helps in ascent of xylem sap and hence helps in transportation of water and minerals. Since water vapour are lost through transpiration, the minerals are left behind as they cannot evaporate along with water.

After a meal that contains carbohydrates, blood glucose levels usually rise gradually as carbohydrates are digested and the resulting monosaccharides are absorbed into the bloodstream. Suppose you run a test on a human with no lactase production. You would provide a dose (e.g., 25 grams) of lactose and measure changes in blood glucose levels over the next three hours. Predict how blood glucose levels would change from fasting to three hours. Justify your response using the results from the above simulation (provided below). A B C D E Lactase Enzyme Simulation: Variations in Lactase Concentration PARAMETERS Initial Lactose: 500 mg/dL Temperature: 25°C pH: 7 Lactase Enzyme: 0 mM Initial Lactose: 500 mg/dL Temperature: 25°C pH: 7 Lactase Enzyme: 5 mM Glucose Concentration @ 20 min (mg/dL): 0 0 0 0 0 0 Glucose Concentration @ 20 min (mg/dL): 492 491 Run 1 Run 2 Run 3 Run 4 Run 5 Mean Run 1 Run 2 Run 3 Run 4 Run 5 Mean 495 491 491 492 INSTRUCTIONS 1. Correct any spelling, typographical, grammatical, OCR (optical character recognition), and mathematical errors, including any errors related to the square root symbol. 2. Ensure that the entire text is properly formatted and presented in a clear, coherent manner. 3. Only correct errors. Do not answer it.
