plant tropism and adaptations

Front

What is hydrotropism?

Back

Hydrotropism is the growth of plant roots towards moisture or water sources.

Front

What is phototropism?

Back

Phototropism is the growth of a plant towards light, allowing it to maximize photosynthesis.

Front

What is the primary function of roots in plants?

Back

The primary function of roots is to absorb nutrients and water from the soil.

Front

What is xylem?

Back

Xylem is a type of vascular tissue in plants responsible for conducting water and minerals from the roots to the leaves.

Front

What is stomata?

Back

Stomata are small openings on the surface of leaves that facilitate gas exchange.

Front

What is geotropism?

Back

Geotropism is the growth response of a plant to gravity, with roots growing downward and stems growing upward.

Front

What is the role of phloem in plants?

Back

Phloem is a vascular tissue responsible for transporting sugars and nutrients produced by photosynthesis from leaves to other parts of the plant.

Front

What is the cuticle in plants?

Back

The cuticle is a waxy layer on the surface of leaves that helps reduce water loss.

Front

What are palisade cells?

Back

Palisade cells are specialized cells in the leaf that contain chloroplasts and are primarily responsible for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the significance of adaptations in plants?

Back

Adaptations are traits that enhance a plant's ability to survive and reproduce in its environment.
