3.

What is it called when water sticks to water?

a)

Cohesion

b)

Adhesion

c)

Capillary Action

d)

Xylem

4.

What is it called when water sticks to other items, like a xylem tube or penny?

a)

Cohesion

b)

Adhesion

c)

Capillary Action

d)

Glucose

5.

When the forces of cohesion and adhesion work together, water can move up the plant against the force of gravity by....

a)

Phototropism

b)

Geotropism

c)

Photosynthesis

d)

Capillary Action

6.

This force is created by water filling up the vacuoles, and gives a plant rigidity and shape so that it does not wilt.

a)

Photosynthesis

b)

Respiration

c)

Turgor Pressure

d)

Xylem

7.

How are the processes of photosynthesis and respiration related?

a)

They both occur in the chloroplast.

b)

They both occur in the mitochondria.

c)

The products of respiration become the raw materials of photosynthesis.

d)

Neither benefit the plant.

8.

In the tropical rainforest it rains daily, so which of the following would be most likely.

a)

The guard cells would close the stomata to conserve water.

b)

The guard cells would open the stomata so that transpiration could take place.

c)

The turgor pressure would be low because of the lack of water.

9.
_______ slow down transpiration by _______ the stomata.
a)
Guard cells; closing
b)
Chloroplasts; closing
c)
Guard cells; opening
d)
Chloroplasts; opening
10.
During photosynthesis, plants absorb energy from sunlight, they take in water from the soil using their roots, and they take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. What is produced in the leaves of plants, in addition to oxygen?
a)
sugar
b)
hydrogen
c)
minerals
d)
all of these
11.
Through the process of transpiration, plants
a)
lose water through their leaves.
b)
break down sugar for energy.
c)
transfer pollen grains to their stigma.
d)
absorb sunlight to produce energy.
12.
Which of the following statements can be inferred from the fact that cellular respiration uses oxygen and produces carbon dioxide?
a)
Animals participate in cellular respiration, while plants participate in both cellular respiration and photosynthesis.
b)
Animals participate in cellular respiration, while plants do not.
c)
Animals do not rely on plants for survival.
d)
Animals participate in cellular respiration because it results in the same products as photosynthesis.
13.
Which physiological adaptation would decrease the process of transpiration in a plant?
a)
opening stomata at night only
b)
development of the ability to bind metals to roots cells
c)
development of an altered growth cycle to match the seasons
d)
growth of an extensive root structure
