why water is important for the plant?

​water importance

• ​photosynthesis

  (write the equation)

• ​transport nutrients to the plant's parts (wter universal solvent )

• ​support the plant (if the plant does not get enough water it will wilt

​how do water enter and leave the plant?

Multiple Choice

What is transpiration?

• Excess water being released from the aerial parts of plants in the form of water vapor

• Excess sugar being released from the leave

• The way a plant makes its food

• When the plant uses sugar for energy

Multiple Choice

Water transported from stems to leaves through what?

• xylem

• phloem

• stems

• roots

Multiple Choice

Which of the following indicates the pathway of water through a plant?

• root hair cell --> xylem --> Mesophyll --> substomatal space --> stomata

• substomatal space -- > stomata --> root hair cell --> xylem --> Mesophyll

• xylem --> stomata --> root hair cell --> Mesophyll --> Substomatal space

Multiple Choice

Which statement correctly identifies the substance and direction it is transported in the xylem?

• Water, only upwards

• Glucose, only upwards

• Water, up and down the plant

• Glucose, up and down the plant

Multiple Choice

Transpiration is

• the movement of water through a plant from the roots up the stem

• the loss of water from the leaves of a plant by the process of evaporation

• the flow of water into plant roots by osmosis from the soil

• the process of minerals and sugars moving through plant veins

Multiple Select

Factors which affect transpiration are (external)

• Sunlight

• Wind speed

• Humidity

• Rain

Multiple Select

What is significance of transpiration

• Creates suction force

• Helps in distribution of water and nutrients

• Cooling effect for plants

• All of the above

​root hair

​

​xylem

​

Multiple Choice

What is the name of the part of the root that allows water and minerals to enter?

• root hairs

• epidermis

• phloem

• phyla

Multiple Choice

Specific type of plant tissue that transports water and minerals from the roots, through the stems, to leaves

• vascular plant

• nonvascular plant

• xylem

• phloem

Multiple Choice

Other than transporting water, what is a function of xylem?

• making food

• transporting food

• helping support the plant

• catching light

Multiple Choice

More root hairs will lead to

• Less transpiration

• More transpiration

• Closure of stomata

​stomata

​

Multiple Choice

Stomata opens during night and closes during day

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

there are more no of stomata on

• Ventral side

• Dorsal side

guard cell

​

Multiple Choice

Cells that control the opening and closing of stomata

• Cuticle

• Guard cell

• Vascular tissue

• Stomata
