16
Q

guard cells and stomata

A

guard cells open and close the stomata to control water loss and allow for gas exchange (O2 / CO2)

17
Q

palisade cells

A

cells near the top surface of the leaf that are packed with chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll
both adaptations maximise photosynthesis

18
Q

how are Palisade mesophyll adapted

A

palisade cells

19
Q

how are EPIDERMAL tissues adapted

A

waxy cuticle

guard cells and stomata

20
Q

how is spongy mesophyll adapted

A

air spaces in the leaf between cells

21
Q

air spaces in the leaf between cells

A

increase surface area for gas exchange so that co2 can diffuse into photosynthesising cells

22
Q

how are xylem adapted

A

hollow tubes strengthened by lignin

23
Q

how are the xylems adaptations useful

A

allows for transport of water and mineral ions from the roots to the stem and leaves

24
Q

how are phloem adapted

A

cell sap moves from one phloem to another through the pores in end walls

25
Q

how are the phloem adaptations useful

A

transports dissolved sugars from leaves to the rest of the plant for immediate use or storage (translocation)

26
Q

meristem tissue

A

new cells (roots and shoot tips) are made here including root hair cells

27
Q

adaptations for root hair cells

A

increased surface area
area for the uptake of water by osmosis
and mineral ions by active transport

28
Q

what can be used to measure transpiration

A

Potometer is used to measure the amount of water lost over time

29
Q

transpiration

A

the rate at which water is lost from the leaves of a plant

30
Q

what is the transpiration stream

A

the column of water moving through the roots, stem and leaves

31
Q

what can affect the rate of transpiration

A

temperature
humidity
air movement
light intensity

32
Q

how cab heart failure be treated

A

transplant or artificial heart
