Plant Transport Review

The property of water that allows water molecules to stick to other water molecules is:

• Adhesion

• Cohesion

• Capillary Action

• Surface Tension

The property of water that allows water molecules to stick to other surfaces is called:

• Adhesion

• Cohesion

• Capillary Action

• Surface Tension

The property of water that causes water to creep up the sides of narrow spaces is called:

• Adhesion

• Cohesion

• Capillary Action

• Surface Tension

The type of vascular tissue responsible for transporting water throughout a plant is the:

• Phloem

• Xylem

• Mesophyll

• Parenchyma

This is the type of tissue that fills most of the space inside of a leaf; almost all of the photosynthesis in a plant happens in this tissue:

• Xylem

• Phloem

• Mesophyll

• Parenchyma

This is the type of tissue that is responsible for transporting sugars throughout the plant:

• Xylem

• Phloem

• Mesophyll

• Parenchyma

The process in which water flows through a plant and is evaporated out of the leaves is known as:

• Evaporation

• Transpiration

• Condensation

• Hydration

Transpiration is MAINLY driven by:

• Negative pressure caused by evaporation

• Cohesion of water molecules

• Capillary action

• Active transport

Which of these is NOT a factor that contributes to the process of transpiration?

• Negative pressure caused by evaporation

• Cohesion of water molecules

• Capillary action

• Photosynthesis

These are the pores on leaves that bring in CO2 for photosynthesis but let water escape due to transpiration:

• Stomata

• Stroma

• Xylem

• Phloem
