Plant Systems Basics

Multiple Choice

Why are root hairs important to the roots, stems, and leaves of plants?

• they increase the surface area of the roots allowing them to absorb more water

• they transport water to other areas of the plant for photosynthesis

• they produce hormones needed throughout the rest of the plant

• they create seeds or spores so the plant can reproduce

Multiple Choice

Copper is a micronutrient that can be found in soil. Copper is important for reproductive growth in plants and plays an indirect role in chlorophyll production. Which statement correctly describes the interaction that occurs between the root and the shoot systems of plant to allow reproduction to occur?

• Copper is produced in the roots when copper-containing compounds are hydrolyzed.

• Copper that is absorbed by the roots is transported to reproductive tissue by the shoot system.

• The shoot system stores copper for later use by the roots and the reproductive structures.

• The shoot system transports copper to the roots after it is taken in through stomata in the leaves.

Multiple Choice

Plants have hormones just like humans do. Plant hormones are created in the plant's stem, buds, and root tips. These hormones are carried and distributed throughout the plant by the plant's ____________________ system. Which of the following correctly completes the sentence?

• vascular

• reproductive

• dermal

• root

Multiple Choice

The internal transport of water and minerals in plants requires that two systems work together. Which correctly describes how the two systems accomplish this task?

• absorption through the root system, then transport through the shoot system by vascular tissue and stomata in leaf tissue

• exchange of minerals for water in the root system, then transport of minerals through phloem to leaves in the stem system

• transpiration by the guard-cell and leaf systems, then sweating into the soil by the root system

• absorption of water by the leaf system, then transport through the meristematic system

Multiple Choice
