Plants

Question 1

Xylem adaptions and functions

Answer 1

Xylem has thick walls to waterproof it
It transports water and minerals upwards (from the roots to the stems and the leaves) for photosynthesis called the transport stream

Question 2

Phloem adaptions and functions

Answer 2

Transports sugars made in photosynthesis from the leaves to the rest of the plant this is called translocation
Cell sap can move from one phloem cell to the next through pores in the end walls

Question 3

Epidermal tissues adaptions and functions

Answer 3

No chloroplasts, transparent so sunlight can reach later beneath
Covers the surface and protects them
Often secrete a waxy substance which water proofs the leaf

Question 4

Palisade mesophyll adaptions and functions

Answer 4

Contains chloroplasts which carry out photosynthesis

Question 5

Spongy mesophyll adaptions and functions

Answer 5

Contains some chloroplasts for photosynthesis but has big air gaps to make diffusion easier

Question 6

Label the plant

Answer 6

Waxy cuticle
Upper epidermis
Palisade mesophyll
Spongy mesophyll
Xylem 
Phloem
Air spaces
Lower epidermis
Guard cells stomata

Question 7

Respiraron equation

Answer 7

Glucose+oxygen makes energy+carbon dioxide+water

Question 8

Photosynthesis equation

Answer 8

Carbon dioxide+water with sunlight and chloroplasts makes glucose+oxygen
