|
What are found in a leaf?
|
The FOLLOWING ARE FOUND IN A LEAF:
PARENCHYMA, EPIDERMIS, STOMATA |
|
|
What cells are in the apical meristem that causes a root to grow longer?
|
cells in the apical meristem that causes a root to grow longer are found JUST BEHIND THE ROOT TIP.
|
|
|
What is used to control water loss in the stomata?
|
To control water loss, the size of the stomata is reduced by the guard cells.
|
|
|
What are characteristc of a parenchyma cell?
|
characteristc of a parenchyma cell are:
1. the most abundant type of plant cell 2. thin, flexible cell walls 3. large central vacuoles |
|
|
How is the epidermis of a plant functions like the ____ of an animal.
|
the epidermis of a plant functions like the SKIN of an animal.
|
|
|
What epidermal sturctures controls the exchange of gases?
|
epidermal sturctures controls the exchange of gases are called STOMATA.
|
|
|
How are sugars and other organic compounds transported throught out the plant?
|
sugars and other organic compounds transported throught out the plant by the PHLOEM
|
|
|
What cell is would be found in xylem tissue?
|
TRACHEIDS
|
|
|
What do guard cell close to prevent excess water loss?
|
guard cell close the STOMATA to prevent excess water loss
|
|
|
If some of the xylem of a young oak tree were destroyed, what would most likely interfere with what?
|
If some of the xylem of a young oak tree were destroyed, it would most likely interfere with the tree ability to conduct water to the leaves.
|
|
|
What do vascular tissue in plants consist of?
|
vascular tissue in plants consist of XYLEM AND PHLOEM.
|
|
|
What is the only tissue that produces new plant cells?
|
the only tissue that produces new plant cells is MERISTEMATIC TISSUE.
|
|
|
What is the main function of stems?
|
the main function of stems TO TRANSPORT SUBSTANCES BETWEEN ROOTS AND LEAVES.
|
|
|
How does oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse in and out of a leaf?
|
oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse in and out of a leaf through the STOMATA
|
|
|
Through which plant cells does water move by capillary action?
|
XYLEM CELLS
|
|
|
How do guard cells prevent a plant from drying out?
|
Guard cells reulate the size of the opening of a stomata according to the amount of water in the plant.
|
|
|
Transpiration occurs only during the day. Hypothesize why this might be.
|
Light is needed for transpiration to take place.
|
|
|
Contrast the flow of materials in xylem and phloem.
|
Water moves up the xylem from the roots to the leaves. Carohydrates and other materials move up down the phloem, throughout the plant.
|
|
|
Where are the youngest cells in a plant found?
|
The youngest cells in a plant are found in the meristematic tissues.
|
