The meristems that are located at the tips of shoots and roots are called

• cambium meristems

• vascular meristems

• apical meristems

• lateral meristems

Multiple Choice

The growth of apical meristems is also known as

• primary growth

• secondary growth

• tertiary growth

• epidermal growth

Multiple Choice

What do Xylem carry up the stem?

• Water

• Nutrients

• Water and minerals

Multiple Choice

What does Phloem carry up (or down) the stem?

• Oxygen

• Water

• Sugar

Multiple Choice

Ground tissue of the vascular tissue is responsible for which of the following?

• protection

• storing carbohydrates

• transporting minerals

Multiple Choice

There are three types of Ground tissues - True or False

• True

• False

PLANT TISSUES

Dermal tissue

• Dermal tissue is a layer of cells that covers the exterior of a plant. On leaves and stems, it secretes a waxy layer called a cuticle that prevents water loss due to transpiration. Transpiration is the process by which moisture is released through small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere. 

Multiple Choice

What is the function of the dermal tissue?

• Storage nutrients

• Protect from water loss and invaders

• Photosynthesis

• Transport nutrients to the plant.

Ground Tissues

The ground tissue of plants includes all tissues that are neither dermal nor vascular. They store nutrients and do photosynthesis.

Multiple Select

What is the function of the ground tissue

• Transport water and nutrients inside the plant

• Protect the plant

• photosynthesis

• Storage nutrients

Vascular Tissues

Vascular tissue is a complex conducting tissue, formed of more than one cell type, found in vascular plants. The primary components of vascular tissue are the xylem and phloem.

Multiple Choice

What is the function of the Vascular tissue

• Transport water and nutrients inside the plant

• Protect the plant

• photosynthesis

• Storage nutrients

Roots

• Even though we can't see them under the soil, all plants have roots that carry water into the plant.

• The roots act like straws and drink in water from the soil to keep the plant hydrated.

• The roots also keep the plant firmly in the ground so that it does not blow away on a windy day!

Root structure and growth

•The tip of a root is covered by the root cap.

• The root cap consists of parenchyma cells to help protect root tissues as the root grows

• Root caps are coated in a slimy
substance that reduce friction as the root grows through the soil.

Types of roots

Two major types: taproots and fibrous roots

•A taproot system consists of a thick root with few smaller, lateral-branching roots. They tend to grow straight down.

•Used for food storage (beets, carrots)

•Used for deep growth to reach water

Roots, Stems, and Leaves

•Fibrous root systems have numerous branching roots that are about the same size and grow from a central point.

•Other root types are adapted to diverse environments

•Pneumatophores are adapted to supply oxygen to roots submerged in
water.

•Adventitious roots form unusual support structures.

Multiple Choice

WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS NOT A FUNCTION OF PLANT ROOTS?

• TAKE IN WATER

• TAKE IN NUTRIENTS

• SUPPORT THE PLANT

• EVAPORATE EXCESS MOISTURE

Multiple Choice

THESE ROOTS GROW DIRECTLY DOWNWARD.

• FIBROUS ROOTS

• TAPROOTS

Multiple Choice

THIS ROOT SYSTEM IS SHALLOW AND DENSE.

• FIBROUS ROOTS

• TAPROOTS

Multiple Choice

What do roots carry into the plant?

• lemonade

• water

• soil

Multiple Choice

Roots keep the plant firmly in the __________ so it does not blow away.

• sofa

• clouds

• ground

Open or Closed?

• Stomata are open when photosynthesis can happen to bring in CO2 and release Oxygen. Example: when the sun is out, when water is available.

• Stomata close when photosynthesis can't happen to save water. Eample: at night, when it has not rained.

Stomata

• Stomata (singular stoma) are tiny openings or pores found in the epidermis of leaves that helps in gas exchange.

• Stomata also help to protect a plant from dehydration caused due to excessive loss of water.

Multiple Choice

Stomata are made of specialized cells called ______ which surround a tiny pore/opening

• stoma

• guard cells

• dermal cells

• diffusion channels

Multiple Choice

The diffusion of water vapor out of a leaf

• transportation

• transformation

• transpiration

• translocation

Multiple Choice

The main function of stomata is to

• capture sunlight

• protect leaves from insects

• allow gases to move rapidly in/out of leaves

• release sugars into the atmosphere

Multiple Choice

A stoma is

• an opening

• a clot

• a cell that captures light energy

• a water tube

Multiple Choice

During times of higher temperatures

• leaves will have more stomata
