Transport in Plant

Vascular tissue (tubes) responsible for the transportation of water and minerals up from the roots and around the plant.

• Stomata

• Phloem

• Xylem

• Transpiration

Vascular tissue (tubes) responsible for the transportation of glucose or food down and around in a plant.

• Xylem

• Phloem

• root hair

• stomata

Students are instructed to place leafy celery stalks into color water in a beaker overnight. The following day, the students observed the color of the celery leaves changed from green to red. The students cut across the edge of the celery and observed the small tube openings along the edge are also red.

How do the plant systems work together to make the movement of the liquid possible?

• The roots absorb the water, minerals move up the stem, while the stem moves food produced in the leaves down to the roots.

• The roots absorb their own water and minerals and the leaves push out CO2.

• The roots anchor the plant into the soil and the stem holds the leaves up.

• The roots lose water vapor to the soil and the stem loses water vapor through the leaves.

Compared to plants, fungi cannot-?

• make their own food.

• grow in large amounts.

• cause disease in other organisms.

• be used in helpful ways.

What are the products of photosynthesis?

• Glucose and water

• 
  Carbon dioxide and water

• Glucose and oxygen

• Carbon dioxide and oxygen

Define transpiration.

• Process of water loss in the form of water vapour from the surface of the leaves through evaporation

• Process of water loss in the form of liquid from the surface of the leaves through evaporation

• Loss of water from plants

• Loss of water through stoma on the leaves

What do you understand about guttation?

• The water loss from plants in solid form through stoma on the surface of the leaves.

• The water loss from plants in liquid form through stoma on the surface of the leaves.

• The water loss from plants in the form of water vapour through hydathodes(opening) at the edge of the leaves.

• The water loss from plants in liquid form through hydathodes(opening) at the edge of the leaves.

Which term best describes evaporation?

• The flowing of water from one location to the other.

• None of the above

• The process by which water changes from a liquid form to a gas.

• The process by which water is turned from a gaseous form to a liquid form.

Which of the following are steps in transpiration.

• Water vapor leaves the leaf through the stomata.

• Sugar is moved throughout the plant.

• Water travels in the stem through the leaf.

• Water is taken up by the roots from the soil.

A Chloroplast is...

• The spongy mesophyll

• 
  The upper epidermis

• The palisade mesophyll

• An organelle in the plant cell containing the pigment chlorophyll. This is where photosynthesis takes place.
