QUIZ 1: SECTION 1 AND 2

Specific type of plant tissue that transports water and minerals from the roots, through the stems, to leaves

• vascular plant

• nonvascular plant

• xylem

• phloem

The flexibility in plants is due to a tissue called

• parenchyma

• chlorenchyma

• collenchyma

• sclerenchyma

The size of the stem increases in the width due to

• apical

• intercalary

• lateral

• vascular bundle

What type of ground tissue is this?

• Parenchyma

• Schlerenchyma

• Collenchyma

tubular cells stacked end-to-end.

• Tracheids

• Phloem

• Vessel elements

• Xylem

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

Some plants also have a type of lateral meristem

• vascular cambium

• cork cambium

• apical meristem

• intercalary meristem

This tissue makes the plant hard and stiff.

• Collenchyma

• Epidermis

• sclerenchyma

• collenchyma

Roots perform all of the following functions EXCEPT

• Carrying out the light reactions of photosynthesis
• Anchoring the plant in the soil
• Absorbing water and nutrients from the soil
• Storing water and minerals

Looks like a jigsaw puzzle with interlocking ridges and dips.

• stomata

• pericycle

• epidermis

• cortex
