Plant Structure and Function Quiz

How do the different types of cells in the plant stem system work to meet the plant’s needs?

• Cells in the stem primarily focus on reproduction rather than support or transport.
• All cells in the stem are identical and serve the same function.
• Cells only provide photosynthesis and do not support the plant.
• Different cell types in the plant stem work together to provide support, transport nutrients, and store energy.

Which structure of the plant body system regulates how much water is lost during hot weather?

• root

• phloem

• leaf

• stem

What is the dermal tissue in a plant?

• The dermal tissue is involved in nutrient transport.
• The dermal tissue is the inner layer of a plant.
• The dermal tissue is responsible for photosynthesis.
• The dermal tissue is the outer protective layer of a plant.

What is the ground tissue in a plant?

• Ground tissue is responsible for the plant's reproductive functions.
• Ground tissue is the tissue that makes up most of a plant, responsible for support, storage, and photosynthesis.
• Ground tissue is the outer protective layer of the plant.
• Ground tissue is primarily involved in water transport.

A classroom of students were instructed to place celery stalks in a solution (water) with red dye.

The next day, students were instructed to make a horizontal cut to reveal the vascular tubes. To their surprise, the tubes were red! 

Which of the following answers best describes this phenomenon (occurrence)?

• The red dye solution moved throughout the plant (up and down) the phloem tubes, but not the xylem tubes.

• The red dye solution moved up through the xylem tubes, but not the phloem tubes.

• The red dye solution moved throughout the plant (up and down) the phloem tubes and up the xylem tubes.

• The red dye solution did not enter the celery and celery is naturally red on the inside.
