Plant Struncures and their Function

Question 1

How is water in the root transported to the leaves?

Answer 1

Osmosis
Up the xylem
By transpiration

Question 2

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Answer 2

CO2 + water

Question 3

How does CO2 enter the plant?

Answer 3

Enters through the stomata

Question 4

Where does photosynthesis take place?

Answer 4

In the chloroplast
Leaves and steam

Question 5

Why are the leaves good for photosynthesis?

Answer 5

They have adapted large surface areas

Question 6

How is water vapour lost from plants?

Answer 6

Transpiration

Question 7

What are the factors of the rate of transpiration?

Answer 7

Humidity
Temperature
Light intensity
Wind speed

Question 8

How does temperature effect the rate of transpiration?

Answer 8

The warmer it is, the faster water evaporates from the leaves

Question 9

How does humidity effect the rate of transpiration?

Answer 9

The lower the humidity, the faster water evaporates

Question 10

How does wind speed effect rate of transpiration?

Answer 10

The windier it is, the faster moist air is taken away from the leaf surface

Question 11

How does light intensity effect rate of transpiration?

Answer 11

Transpiration is faster when the stomata are open in the light
