A

Palisade layer

51
Q
A

Spongy layer

52
Q

What are the functions of roots?

A
  • supply plants with water and disolve nutrients
  • hold plants securely in soil
  • store surplus food
53
Q

What are the functions of stems?

A
  • support the plant body
  • transport material between roots and shoots
  • store materials like water
54
Q

What is the main function of a leaf?

Q

What do the guard cells do?

A

they open and close the stoma

56
Q

Where does photosynthesis occur?

be as specific as possible

A

in the grana of the chloroplasts, which are found in the palisade layer

57
Q

Where does cellular respiration occur?

A

in the cristae of the mitochondria

58
Q

What is the formula for cellular respiration

A

C6H12O6 + O2 —> CO2 + H2O + ENERGY (ATP)

Every time cellular respiration occurs, 38 units of ATP are created.

59
Q

What do a fern and a daffodil have in common?

A

they are both vascular plants

A fern is a seedless plant, while a daffodil, being a flowering plant, is an angiosperm, so it’s a seed plant. This means that the only category they have in common is that they are both vascular.
