Plant vascular system

What are stomata?

• A type of plant tissue that transports water

• Openings on the surface of leaves that allow gas exchange

• Cells that produce chlorophyll

• Tubes that carry sugars in plants

What is the role of guard cells in plants?

• They transport food made in the leaves

• They control the opening and closing of the stomata

• They convert glucose into energy

• They carry water to all parts of the plant

What is transpiration in plants?

• The process of making sugar using light energy

• The process by which water flows through plants, entering the roots and exiting the stomata

• The conversion of glucose into energy

• The transport of food from leaves to other parts

Which process uses light energy, carbon dioxide, and water to make sugar?

• Aerobic cellular respiration

• Photosynthesis

• Transpiration

• Xylem transport
