Transpiration in Plants

 ______ transports water and some nutrients up from the roots to the rest of the plant. 

• xylem
• phloem
• stoma
• spongy mesophyll

_______ transports sugar, proteins, and other organic materials.

• xylem
• phloem
• stoma
• spongy mesophyll

How do water enter the roots from the soil?

• diffusion
• osmosis
• transpiration

Water is transported from roots to shoots and leaves in:

• Xylem
• Phloem
• Stomata
• Chlorophyll

Why does water move from the roots to the leaves of plants?

• Water is pushed by solutes.
• Capillary action pulls the water molecules like a chain.
• Water is pulled by gravity.
• Water’s cohesion causes it to “pull” towards the leaves.

Transpiration is

• the movement of water through a plant from the roots up the stem
• the loss of water from the leaves of a plant by the process of evaporation
• the flow of water into plant roots by osmosis from the soil
• the process of minerals and sugars moving through plant veins
