Transport in Plants 1.1

Which of the following represents pathways taken by water from soil to the xylem?

• Vacuolar

• Agroplast

• Symplast

• Apoplast

Which of the following represents Xylem cells that remain living at maturity?

• Parenchyma

• Sclerenchyma

• Tracheid

• Xylem vessel element

Which of the following lists comprehensively represent how water moves up the xylem

• adhesion and cohesion

• adhesion, cohesion, transpiration push

• adhesion, cohesion, transpiration pull and root push

• adhesion, cohesion, tension, transpiration pull and root push

Which of the follow correctly identifies the structures in the image? in the order they appear

• vascular tissue in root; vascular tissue in stem

• vascular tissue in stem; vascular tissue in stem

• vascular tissue in the leaf, vascular tissue in the root

• Vascular tissue in the root, stem and leaves.

In what way/s do water and minerals enter the root from the soil

• Water: Osmosis as well as seeping across the cell wall.

• Water and minerals by active transport

• Minerals: Active transport as well as seeping across the cell wall.

• Water and minerals by osmosis since the minerals are dissolved in the water

Identify the structure labelled 1.

• pericycle

• Endodermis and epidermis respectively

• Epidermis

• Root Hair cell

Identify the structure labelled 2.

• Pith

• sclerenchyma

• pericycle

• Cortex

Identify the structure labelled 3

• Phloem
