What is the function of the stomata?
To carry out photosynthesis?
To allow the evaporation of water
To allow the diffusion of gases
To protect the leaf tissues
What do we call the cells that control the opening and closing of the stomata?
Waxy cells
Guard cells
Palisade cells
Spongy cells
What plant tissue is shown in the diagram?
Xylem
Phloem
Lignin
Root hair cell
What plant tissue is shown in the diagram?
Xylem
Phloem
Lignin
Root hair cell
What is the function of xylem tissue?
To transport food up through the plant
To transport food up and down the plant
To transport water up through the plant
To transport water up and down the plant
What is the function of phloem tissue?
To transport food up through the plant
To transport food up and down the plant
To transport water up through the plant
To transport water up and down the plant
What is the purpose of lignin?
To lubricate the xylem so that water moves smoothly through the plant
To store glucose
To strengthen the xylem to withstand pressure changes
To thicken the walls of the xylem
Which of the following statements is the correct definition of transpiration?
The movement of water from high to low concentration
The evaporation of water from a plant
The movement of water through a plant and its evaporation from the stomata
The movement of water along the xylem
Which of the following would NOT speed up the rate of transpiration?
High humidity
High wind speed
Increased temperature
Large leaf surface area
How does water travel from the soil into the root hair cells?
Transpiration
Active transport
Diffusion
Osmosis
How is a root hair cell adapted to maximise the movement of water into the root?
It has a root hair that increases surface area
It has a moist membrane to allow gases to diffuse across
Cellulose strengthens the cell wall
the cell membrane allows the movement of water against the concentration gradient
