Plant Structure and Function

Front

What is the main function of ground tissues in plants?

Back

Ground tissues have diverse functions such as photosynthesis, storage, and support.

Front

What feature of leaves allows them to capture light energy for photosynthesis?

Back

Leaves are broad and flat, which increases their surface area for light absorption.

Front

What is the role of flower petals in plants?

Back

Flower petals are responsible for attracting pollinators.

Front

What is the primary function of vascular tissues in plants?

Back

Vascular tissues transport food and water throughout the plant.

Front

What is the purpose of xylem in plants?

Back

The xylem is responsible for bringing water through the stem.

Front

What is the function of phloem in plants?

Back

Phloem transports the products of photosynthesis (food) from leaves to other parts of the plant.

Front

What are meristematic tissues?

Back

Meristematic tissues are regions of actively dividing cells that contribute to plant growth.

Front

What is the significance of stomata in leaves?

Back

Stomata are small openings that allow for gas exchange (CO2 in, O2 out) during photosynthesis.

Front

How do root hairs contribute to plant function?

Back

Root hairs increase the surface area for water and nutrient absorption from the soil.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in plants?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment that captures light energy for photosynthesis.
