Found in growing areas of plants: roots, stems

Question 4

What is epidermal tissue?

Answer 4

Protective outer covering, Site of gas exchange (bring in CO2, release O2), Prevent water loss
Exchange of materials (water, nutrients)

Question 5

What does epidermal tissue contain?

Answer 5

Contain stomata: pores in leaves

Question 6

What does the vascular do?

Answer 6

Moves water & nutrients around plant

Question 7

What is Xylem?/ what does it do?

Answer 7

moves water/minerals from roots to leaves

Question 8

Answer 18

anther produces pollen (sex cells)

Question 19

How are leaves structured to reduce water loss but allow gas exchange?

Answer 19

They have a waxy cuticle to help reduce water evaporation. They have stomata (pores) to allow gas exchange.
