Vascular and Non- vascular plants/ Photosynthesis

What is the difference between taproots and fibrous roots?

• Taproots take in water and fibrous roots do not

• Taproot anchor the plant in the ground and fibrous roots do not

• Taproots take in water/nutrients and fibrous roots do not

• Taproots have one main root and fibrous roots do not

In a non-vascular plant how does water move?

• through the roots

• from cell to cell

• through the xylem and phloem

• from the roots to the flower

In which type of plant does water/food move through xylem and phloem?

• seed plants

• vascular plants

• non-vascular

• both vascular and non-vascular

Which would best model xylem and phloem in plants?

• something that prevents water loss

• something that absorbs and holds liquids only

• something that moves liquids and food

• something that holds gases

Non-vascular plants do not have roots, stems, or leaves. Which is a non-vascular plant?

• fern

• moss

• ivy vine

• tree

Which type of plant does not produce seeds?

• spruce tree

• fern

• flower

• bushes

What type of plant reproduces with spores?

• grasses and trees

• weeds and vines

• flowers and shrubs

• ferns and mosses

What would happen to a plant that could carry out photosynthesis, but not respiration?

• It wouldn't have food

• It would have food, but couldn't use it to make energy

• It would have too much water in its cells

• It would be unable to capture the energy from sunlight

What does a plant do during respiration?

• stores food

• creates food

• breaks down food to create energy

• gets food from other organisms

Plants must absorb energy from the sun as one ingredient. What is the name of this process?

• respiration

• photosynthesis

• perspiration

• transpiration
