Plant cell organisation

Question 1

What are the 3 mains organs of a plant?

Answer 1

Stem
Leaves
Roots

Question 2

What does a group of organs make up?

Answer 2

Organ system

Question 3

What is the function of the Plants organ system?

Answer 3

To transport substances around the plant for them to live and thrive

Question 4

Name the 7 plant tissue.

Answer 4

Epidermal layer (Upper & Lower
Palisade Mesophyll
Spongy Mesophyll
Stomata
Xylem & Phloem
Meristem

Question 5

Epidermal layer function

Answer 5

Covers the whole plant

Question 6

Palisade Mesophyll layer

Answer 6

Where photosynthesis occurs in plants

Question 7

Spongy mesophyll

Answer 7

contains air gaps for diffusion

Question 8

Stomata

Answer 8

Opens and closes to allow gaseous exchange (especially for Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere)

Question 9

Xylem and phloem

Answer 9

Xylem- transport water through the plant
Phloem - transports mineral ions and food

Question 10

Meristem

Answer 10

tip of the leaf that can differentiate from other plants

Question 11

What happens in the leaf?

Answer 11

Photosynthesis

Question 12

What does the leaf need more of?

Answer 12

Water and carbon dioxide

Question 13

How does the water get into the plant?

Answer 13

Through the plants roots

Question 14

How does the Carbon dioxide get into the Plant

Answer 14

Diffuses in from the atmosphere

Question 15

Stages of How the plants photosynthesize

Answer 15

1. Carbon dioxide enters the plant from the atmosphere and diffuses in through the open stomata.
2. The CO2 goes into the spongy layer which has air gaps for the gas to easily diffuses into the palisade layer.
3. In the palisade mesophyll layer, the CO2 is then used for Photosynthesis and releases Glucose and Oxygen.
4. This is then carried by the xylem and phloem to be used for the growth of the plant.
