Bio-Plants transpiration & transport

Define vascular tissue

• Photosynthetic organs that contain one or more bundles of vascular tissue
• The vascular tissue through which food moves in some plants
• Tissue that conducts water and nutrients through the plant body in higher plants
• The type of tissue in vascular plants that provides support and conducts water and nutrients from the roots

 ______ transports water and some nutrients up from the roots to the rest of the plant. 

• xylem
• phloem
• stoma
• spongy mesophyll

_______ transports sugar, proteins, and other organic materials.

• xylem
• phloem
• stoma
• spongy mesophyll

Xylem and Phloem are both __.

• Transpiration
• Absorption
• Photosynthesis
• Vascular tissue

How do water enter the roots from the soil?

• diffusion
• osmosis
• transpiration
• active transport

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

• root hairs
• epidermis
• phloem
• phyla

Which is NOT a function of roots?

• Take in water
• Take in nutrients
• Anchor plant to ground
• Make food

Water is transported from roots to shoots and leaves in:

• Xylem
• Phloem
• Stomata
• Chlorophyll

Why does water move from the roots to the leaves of plants?

• Water is pushed by solutes.
• Capillary action pulls the water molecules like a chain.
• Water is pulled by gravity.
• Water’s cohesion causes it to “pull” towards the leaves.

Sugars made in leaves are transported in:

• Phloem
• chloroplast
• stomata
