FPM 5 EOPA Review

Which part of a plant absorbs most of the water and minerals taken up from the soil?

• root cap

• root hairs

• the thick parts of the roots near the base of the stem

• storage roots

Which of the following have unevenly thickened primary walls that support young, growing parts of a plant?

• parenchyma cells

• collenchyma cells

• sclerenchyma cells

• tracheids

One important difference between the anatomy of roots and the anatomy of leaves is that

• only leaves have phloem and only roots have xylem.

• root cells have cell walls and leaf cells do not.

• a waxy cuticle covers leaves but is absent from roots.

• vascular tissue is found in roots but is absent from leaves.

Carbon dioxide enters the inner spaces of the leaf through the

• cuticle.

• epidermal trichomes.

• stomata.

• walls of the guard cells.

What is the effect of red light on plant growth?

• Causes shortened, hardened, and darker plants

• Causes elongated and soft growth

• Promotes flowering when combined with blue light

• Has no impact on plant growth

______________ _____________________ tissue is found at the tips of roots and at the end of stems.

• Apical meristem

• Leaf primordia

• Lateral meristem

A plant's growth towards or away from a stimulus is called a

• tropism

• hormone

• auxin

• dormancy

A region of plant cells that are capable of dividing and developing into specialized plant tissues.

• Phloem
• Stomata
• Tropism
• Meristems

Structure A

• Root apical meristem

• Stem apical meristem

• Axillary bud apical meristem

• Lateral meristem

Phototropism is

• The plant response to water

• The plant response to light

• The plant response to gravity

• The plant response to soil
