Which cells are found in xylem?

• Tracheids
• Sieve Tubes
• Companion cells
• Cambium cells

How do minerals enter into plant cells?
I. Active transport
II. Bulk flow (with water)
III. Transport by Phloem

• I only
• I and II only
• I, II and III
• II and III only

What BEST defines adhesion.

• Water molecules bonding to each other due to the hydrophobic nature of water.
• Water molecules bonded to other other surfaces due to the transparency of water.
• Water molecules sticking to each other due to the polarity of water.
• Water molecules sticking to other surfaces due to the polarity of water.

Why do plants need to open stomata?
I. To get rid of excess CO₂

II. To allow transpiration
III. To exchange gases with the  environment

• I only
• I and II only
• II and III only
• I, II and III
