Plant Systems and Body Systems

What tissues,organs, organ systems transport materials like water and sugars throughout the plant?

• vascular system only (xylem and phloem)

• tissue system only (xylem and phloem)

• both vascular system and tissue (xylem and phloem)

what are the two plant organ systems?

• root and tree

• shoot and flower

• root and shoot

• tree and flower

A group of similar cells organized to do a specific function are called

• tissue

• organ

• organ system

• organism

Identify the structures of support in plants.

• skeleton/muscles

• leaves/branches

• chlorophyll/chloroplast

• roots/stems

Plants and animals have structures that perform similar functions. Plants have xylem and phloem that allow the transport of materials through the plant. Which structures allow transport of materials in animals?

• bladder and kidneys

• muscles and bones

• veins and arteries

• nerves and muscle tissue

What is the function of xylem in plants

• To transport glucose and nutrients

• To transport water and minerals

• To anchor the plant to the ground

• To transform energy through photosynthesis

• To excrete oxygen into the atmosphere

• To excrete oxygen into the atmosphere

What is the primary function of the xylem in plants?

• Transport water and minerals from roots to leaves

• Transport sugars from leaves to roots

• Store nutrients

• Support the plant structure
