Question 8

Where is meristematic tissue found in a plant?

Answer 8

Meristematic tissue in a plant is primarily found in the apical meristems at the tips of roots and shoots, as well as cambien

Question 9

Which type of meristematic tissue is responsible for longitudinal growth (growth in length)?

Answer 9

Apical Meristems

Question 10

What is the function of a chloroplast?

Answer 10

They contain the green pigment chlorophyll which captures the sun’s energy.

Question 11

What is the outermost boundary of a plant cell?

Answer 11

the outermost boundary of a plant cell is the cell wall, also known as the plasma membrane.

Question 12

Why don’t plant cells burst when the central vacuole swells with water? Use prior knowledge and logic to answer this.

Answer 12

Plant cells don’t burst when the central vacuole swells with water because the rigid cell wall surrounding the cell membrane provides structural support and prevents excessive expansion, maintaining the cell’s integrity.

Question 13

What is the function of plant cell walls? What compound in cell walls enables them to perform this function?

Answer 13

Plant cell walls serve to provide structural support and protection to plant cells, and they are enabled to perform this function by the compound cellulose, which forms a strong and rigid network.

Question 14

How are compound leaves different from simple leaves?

Answer 14

Compound leaves are different from simple leaves because they are divided into multiple leaflets along a common leaf stalk, while simple leaves consist of a single leaf blade attached to the stem.

Question 15

What is the function of leaf veins?

Answer 15

Leaf veins primarily function to transport water, nutrients, and sugars within the leaf, enabling vital processes like photosynthesis and providing structural support to the leaf.

Question 16

What is the function of a plant cell vacuole?

Answer 16

The function of a plant cell vacuole is to store water, nutrients, waste products, and various substances, helping maintain cell rigidity and storing essential molecules.

Question 17

Explain why leaves turn different colors in the fall.

Answer 17

Leaves turn different colors in the fall due to the breakdown of chlorophyll, revealing other pigments such as carotenoids (orange and yellow) and anthocyanins (red and purple) that were previously masked by chloroplast

Question 18

How do guard cells help plants conserve water on a hot day?

Answer 18

Guard cells help plants conserve water on a hot day by controlling the opening and closing of stomata to reduce water loss

Question 19

What is the relationship of systems, tissues and organs in multicellular organisms?

Answer 19

Form tissues, tissues make organs, organs make organ systems which is needed in the plants.

Question 20

Describe the systems and organs of a plant.

Answer 20

Shoot system, and root system

Question 21

How does the sap in xylem and phloem differ?

Answer 21

The sap in xylem mainly carries water and minerals, facilitating their transport from the roots, whereas the sap in phloem contains water, sugars, and other organic compounds, responsible for distributing the products of photosynthesis to various plant tissues

Question 22

What is the function of the stomata?

Answer 22

The function of the stomata is to regulate the exchange of gases, primarily carbon

Question 23

What is transpiration?

Answer 23

Transpiration is the process by which plants release water vapor through tiny openings called stomata on the surface of their leaves, helping with cooling and maintaining water and nutrient uptake.

Question 24

What type of tissue is found in the center of a leaf?

Answer 24

Mesophyll

Question 25

Explain the difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs.

Answer 25

Autotrophs can make their own food through processes like photosynthesis, while heterotrophs must obtain their energy and nutrients by consuming other organisms or organic compounds.

Question 26

Explain what photosynthesis is

Answer 26

When plants take energy from the sun, to produce food such as glucose for plant to eat 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Question 27

What is cellular respiration

Answer 27

Cellular respiration is the metabolic process in which cells extract energy from glucose and other organic molecules, releasing carbon dioxide, water, and ATP as a form of chemical energy.

Question 28

What is the function of the abscission layer?

Answer 28

The detach leaves, flowers or plants that are no longer needed

Question 29

What is turgor pressure?

Answer 29

Turgor pressure is the force within the cell that pushes the plasma membrane against the cell wall.

Question 30

What causes plants to wilt?

Answer 30

Plants wilt when there is a loss of turgor pressure in their cells,

Question 31

If you damage the meristematic tissue of a plant, what effect might that have on the plant?
