Vascular Tissue - Unit 1 Biology

Which type of plant tissue covers the outer surface of the plant and acts as a protective layer?

• Epidermis

• Vascular

• Ground

• Connective

What is the function of xylem tissue?

• Transports water and minerals

• Control the opening and closing of stoma

• Carry out photosynthesis

• Provide support for young plant

Name the cells that are responsible for opening and closing the stomata

• Guard cells

• Soldier cells

• Warrior cells

• Prison cells

Recall what the pathway of water from roots to leaves is called.

• Respiration

• Translocation

• Transpiration stream

• Evaporation

Recall what substance is used to thicken and strengthen xylem walls in woody plants.

• Protein

• Mineral ions

• Lignin

• Glucose

Recall the main funtion of a phloem cell.

• To transport nutrients (mainly sucrose) to different parts of a plant.

• To transport water to different parts of a plant.

• To make energy for the plant via photosynthesis.

• To provide structural support to a plant.

Recall which of the following form part of the phloem.

• Sieve-tube elements

• Trachieds

• Vessels

• Companion cells

What is it called when water molecules stick to each other?

• Cohesion

• Adhesion

• Capillary Action

• Xylem

An example of adhesion is

• Water molecules sticking to each other

• Water molecules sticking to the xylem walls

• Magnets sticking to a fridge

• Gravity pulling water down

When the forces of cohesion and adhesion work together, water can move up the plant against the force of gravity by....

• Phototropism

• Geotropism

• Photosynthesis

• Capillary Action
