03/06 Plant Transport and Tropisms

Plant Transport and Tropisms

​Grab your journals and a glue stick

Objective:
Students will understand plant transport—specifically the phloem and xylem.
Studnets will identify the different tropisms that stimulate plants.

Vascular system in Plants

• Help move materials around the plant

• Xylem transfers water and minerals from roots to leaves

• Xylem moves materials in only one direction from roots to leaves

• Phloem transfers glucose, amino acids, and hormones around the plant

• Phloem materials can move in either direction from

  roots to leaves or leaves to roots

Multiple Select

What does the xylem transport? (select all that apply)

• Water

• Glucose

• Minerals

• Amino Acids

Multiple Choice

What does the Phloem transport?

• Water
• Minerals
• Oxygen
• Glucose-Sugar

  (food)

Multiple Choice

• Backwards
• Upwards
• Downwards
• Sideways

Multiple Choice

A plant's response to touch
