• Stem

• Ground tissue

Multiple Choice

A potted plant is placed inside a clear, sealed vacuum container that has water pumped into it on a regular basis. The container is placed in the sun and the plant’s growth is monitored. Which statement best describes what will most likely happen to the plant over time?

• The plant will grow faster because it is sheltered from the wind.

• The plant will grow at a slower rate because it requires more water.

• The plant will die because it does not have oxygen for photosynthesis.

• The plant will die because it does not have carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.

Multiple Choice

The cambium is a section of cells in a plant that can become either part of the xylem or phloem, depending on the growth and needs of the plant. If the cambium of a particular plant was damaged, what would be the most likely effect on the plant?

• The plant would have uncontrolled growth.

• The plant would not experience any change in physiology.

• The plant would carry out photosynthesis more effectively.

• The plant would not be able to transport nutrients and water.
