Q

what is spongy mesophyll

A

tissue layer of lossly spaced cells in a leaf

17
Q

whats the function of spongy mesophyll

A

diffusion of oxygen out and carbon dioxide towards the palisade cells

18
Q

function of vascular tissue

A

provides leaf with water needed for transportation and photosynthesis, and removes sugars

19
Q

what is phloem

A

sieve tube cells and companion cells

20
Q

what is the funtion of phloem

A

transports sucrose, sugar is used for protein

21
Q

what is xylem?

A

thick walled tubes

22
Q

is xylem living?

A

no

23
Q

what is the function of xylem?

A

moves water and disolved minerals from the roots up to the stem then to the leaves

24
Q

what is a vascular bundle

A

a strand of xylem, phloem and associated tissues bunched together

25
Q

what are meristems

A

plant tissue in which cells divide by mitosis

26
Q

whats the function of meristems?

A

produce root tissue and shoot tissue

27
Q

what do root hairs do?

A

absorbs water and minerals

28
Q

what are root hairs

A

dermal cell on plant root

29
Q

what do guard cells do?

A

swells and contracts to control gas exchange through the stona

30
Q

what is the cuticle

A

waxy, water proof layer on the outside of the leaf

31
Q

what is the word equation of photo synthesis

A

carbon dioxide+ water+ sunlight energy= glucose+ oxygen

32
Q

what is the chemical equation for photosynthesis

A

6co2+ 6H2O+ energy = C6H12O6 +6O2

33
Q

what is cellular respiration

A

when the mitochondria breaks down glucose into energy in the form of ATP

34
Q

what is the word equation of cellular respiration

A

glucose + oxygen + carbon dioxide + water + energy

35
Q

what is the chemical equation for cellular respiration

A

C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy

36
Q

what is the stoma

A

tiny pores that allow gas exchange under the leaf

37
Q

how do the stoma open?

A

carbon dioxide and oxygen move by diffusion at any time
