Unit 4 review

Front

In which direction do water and minerals move within a plant?

Back

Upward

Front

What tropisms are exhibited by roots in plants?

Back

Hydrotropism & Geotropism

Front

What is the function of guard cells in plants?

Back

They control the rate of transpiration (loss of water through the leaf).

Front

How do the integumentary and nervous systems interact when detecting temperature changes?

Back

The integumentary system detects temperature changes, and the nervous system processes the information to initiate a response.

Front

What type of tissue are xylem and phloem classified as?

Back

Vascular tissue.

Front

What is transpiration in plants?

Back

The process of water vapor loss from plant leaves.

Front

What role do xylem and phloem play in plant physiology?

Back

Xylem transports water and minerals from the roots to the leaves, while phloem transports sugars and nutrients throughout the plant.

Front

Define hydrotropism in plants.

Back

The growth response of plant roots towards moisture.

Front

Define geotropism in plants.

Back

The growth response of plant roots and shoots to gravity.

Front

What is the primary function of the integumentary system?

Back

To protect the body and regulate temperature.
