9.4-9.6 Transport in Plants Recap

The xylem and phloem together are know as

• vascular bundles.

• the mesophyll.

• stomates.

• guard cells.

Stomata are made of specialized cells called ______ which surround a tiny pore/opening

• stoma

• guard cells

• epidermal cells

• diffusion channels

What molecule is the phloem responsible for transporting?

• Glucose

• Water

• Sucrose

• Glycogen

Translocation is the

• transport of water in the xylem

• transport of water in the phloem

• transport of sugar in the xylem

• transport of sugar in the phloem

Which of the following indicates the pathway of water through a plant?

• root hair cell --> xylem --> mesophyll cells --> intercellular air space --> stomata

• intercellular air space -- > stomata --> root hair cell --> xylem --> mesophyll cells

• xylem --> stomata --> root hair cell --> mesophyll cells --> intercellular air space

Describe the flow of water through the plant.

• Water enters through the root hairs

• Water travels up the xylem of the stem through cohesion and adhesion

• Water exits through the stoma on the bottom of the leaf

• Water travels through the xylem into the central vein of the leaf

What is/are adaptation (s) of the root hair for its function ?

• large surface area to absorb more water

• large vacuole to store a lot of water

• many mitochondria for active transport of minerals

• place to store food

How does water enter the roots from the soil?

• diffusion

• osmosis

• transpiration

• active transport

Transpiration is

• the movement of water through a plant from the roots up the stem

• the loss of water vapour from the leaves of a plant

• the flow of water into plant roots by osmosis from the soil

• the process of minerals and sugars moving through plant veins

Which of these is/are true?

• Xylem vessels carry water and dissolved minerals up the plant

• Xylem vessels carry dissolved sucrose up and down the plant

• Phloem tissue carry water and dissolved minerals up the plant

• Phloem tissue carry dissolved sucrose up and down the plant
