Plants

Question 1

4 plant tissues

Answer 1

dermal, ground, vascular, meristematic

Question 2

4 plant organs

Answer 2

leaves, stem, root, reproductive structures

Question 3

stomata function

Answer 3

gas exchange

Question 4

cuticle function

Answer 4

protection, prevent water loss

Question 5

vascular bundles

Answer 5

contains xylem and phloem for transport

Question 6

mesophyll

Answer 6

Palisade—photosynthesis
Spongy—gas diffusion
production of sugars through photosynthesis

Question 7

4 stem types

Answer 7

Herbaceous/woody dicots, herbaceous/woody monocots

Question 8

how are annual rings produced

Answer 8

xylem moves inside and dies, older phloem sloughs off

Question 9

what is transpiration

Answer 9

evaporation of water from leaves

Question 10

mechanisms that allow water transport through xylem

Answer 10

Capillary action, root pressure, transpiration pull

Question 11

what is translocation

Answer 11

movement of sugars within phloem

Question 12

what is pressure flow theory

Answer 12

how moment occurs in phloem

Question 13

source?

Answer 13

tissue where sugar enters phloem

Question 14

sink?

Answer 14

tissue where sugar exits phloem

Question 15

what occurs in pressure flow theory

Answer 15

Sugar/other solutes actively pumped in/out of sieve tubes from source or into sink; water flows due to osmosis. movement in sieve results from flow down pressure gradient
