Translocation

Question 1

What is the root hairs adaptations to allow nutrients to get in the plant easily

Answer 1

Thin cell wall
Mitochondria to respirate for active transport
Large surface area

Question 2

Is the phloem or the xylem made from dead cells?

Answer 2

The xylem is made up from dead cells

Question 3

Which tissue in the leaf absorbs the most light for photosynthesis?
A.) Palisade mesophyll
B.) Upper epidermis
C.) Spongy mesophyll

Answer 3

A.) Palisade mesophyll

Question 4

What does the xylem transport from the roots to the leaves?

Answer 4

Minerals and water

Question 5

Why exactly is the palisade mesophyll adapted for photosynthesis

Answer 5

It contains chlorophyll that absorb the sun light but it also contains chloroplast which captures sun-light molecules.

Question 6

What does the phloem cell transport and where does it transport?

Answer 6

Sugar sucrose and it transports this to the leaves/ upper part of the plant.

Question 7

What is translocation?

Answer 7

The movement of sugar produced in photosynthesis to all other parts of the plant for respiration.

Question 8

State one adaptation of the phloem.

Answer 8

Companion cells because transport of the minerals requires energy
Sieve tubes specialised for transport and have no nuclei. Each sieve tube has a perforated end so its cytoplasm connects one cell to the next.
