What is transpiration?
Excess water being released from the leaves
Excess sugar being released from the leaves
The way a plant makes its food
When the plant uses sugar for energy
What is respiration?
The way a plant grows
The way a plant releases excess waste
The way a plant makes its food
The way a plant uses sugar for energy
What is transpiration?
Excess water being released from plants in the form of water vapour
Excess sugar being released from the leaves
The way a plant makes its food
When the plant uses sugar for energy
Water transported from stems to leaves through what?
xylem
phloem
stems
roots
Which of the following indicates the pathway of water through a plant?
root hair cell --> xylem --> Mesophyll --> substomatal space --> stomata
substomatal space -- > stomata --> root hair cell --> xylem --> Mesophyll
xylem --> stomata --> root hair cell --> Mesophyll --> Substomatal space
Select all of the environmental factors that would increase transpiration.
Increased humidity
Increased wind speed
Increased temperature
Decreased surface area
Which statement correctly identifies the substance and direction it is transported in the xylem?
Water, only upwards
Glucose, only upwards
Water, up and down the plant
Glucose, up and down the plant
Stomata opens during night and closes during day
True
False
Factors which affect transpiration are (external)
Sunlight
Wind speed
Humidity
Rain
Adaptations in plant to reduce transpiration are -
Number of stomata
Thickness of cuticle
Loss of leaves
All of the above
What is significance of transpiration
Creates suction force
Helps in distribution of water and nutrients
Cooling effect for plants
All of the above
More root hairs will lead to
Less transpiration
More transpiration
Closure of stomata
Which equation is the photosynthesis equation?
C6H12O6 + O2 -----> CO2 + H20
C6H12O6 + O2 + CO2 -----> H20 + ATP
CO2 + H20 -----> C6H12O6 + O2
O2 + CO2 -----> H20 + C6H12O6
In what plant cell organelle does photosynthesis occur?
Chloroplasts
Mitochondria
Nucleus
Cell Wall
What is the catalyst (makes the reation happen) for the photosynthesis equation? It is also the limiting factor.
Sunlight
Temperature
CO2 concentration
Oxygen concentration
How do short days in winter affect the rate of photosynthesis?
short days increase the rate of photosynthesis
short days decrease the rate of photosynthesis
short days have to impact on the rate of photosynthesis
winter kills plants.
If plants are in need of water and stressed, will they continue to go through phtotsynthesis?
Yes
No
Maybe so?
What does transpiration do? (Check all that apply)
Cools the plant
Warms the plant
Releases gases
Releases water
What is turgor?
Water moving through the plant and stiffening the cells to provide support
Water in the plant
Movement of nutrients within the plant
Movement of sugars within the plant
