Total questions: 10
Worksheet time: 5mins
Which part of the plant is primarily responsible for absorbing water and minerals from the soil?
Leaves
Stem
Roots
Flowers
What is the main force that helps water move up from the roots to the leaves in plants?
Gravity
Transpiration pull
Osmosis
Photosynthesis
The vascular tissue that transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant is called:
Phloem
Cambium
Xylem
Cortex
Which of these is NOT a function of the phloem?
Transporting sugars from leaves to other parts of the plant
Carrying water from the roots to the leaves
Distributing nutrients throughout the plant
Moving hormones
What part of the plant captures sunlight for photosynthesis?
Roots
Stem
Leaves
Flowers
Which of the following best describes the process of osmosis in plant cells?
Movement of sugar in the phloem
Movement of water from an area of high concentration to low concentration
Movement of minerals into root hair cells
Movement of carbon dioxide into leaves
Which part of the plant holds it up and supports the leaves?
Roots
Stem
Flowers
Seeds
What do plants need from the soil to help them grow?
Sunlight
Water
Air
Both water and minerals
What happens when there is an increase in the rate of transpiration?
The plant wilts
More water is pulled up from the roots
Photosynthesis stops
The plant grows faster
The main difference between xylem and phloem is:
A. Xylem transports water, phloem transports sugars
B. Xylem is dead at maturity, phloem is living
C. Xylem is found in leaves, phloem in roots
D. Both A and B
