Q

Benign tumours are with a what?

18
Q

Are benign tumours typically cancerous?

19
Q

The two types of tumours are benign and what?

20
Q

Within the plant tissue, the epidermal tissue is covered with a waxy cuticle to reduce what?

21
Q

Within plant tissues, there is two types of mesophyll: called what?

A

Palisade and spongy

22
Q

The spongy mesophyll tissue is at the bottom and has what which allows for gas diffusion?

23
Q

The palisade mesophyll tissue is where most what happens, meaning there is lots of chloroplast?

A

Photosynthesis

24
Q

Within the two mesophyll tissues is the xylem and what?

25
The meristem tissue is found at the growing tips of what?
Roots /shoots
26
The meristem tissue can do what do that the plant can grow?
Differentiate
27
Xylem involves the movement of water and what into the transpiration stream?
Mineral ions
28
Xylem carries water in from where to the stem and leaves
From the roots
29
Phloem carries what from the leaves to the rest of the plant?
Dissolved sugars
30
Which process involves xylem?
Transpiration
31
Which process involves translocation?
Phloem
32
Translocation moves dissolved sugars through the phloem tubes via what?
Osmosis
33
What is transpiration? (Basics)
Loss of water from a okant
34
In transpiration, water is lost by what causing it to diffuse out the plant?
Evaporation
35
Due to the waters evaporation in transpiration, more water is drawn into the plants from where?
The roots
36
How does warm temperatures increase transpiration rate?
Water molecules have more energy
37
How does light intensity increase transpiration rate?
Stomata opens when it’s lught
38
How does good air flow/ low humidity increase transpiration rate?
Fewer water molecules surround the leaves, (so higher water concerntration inside leaf)
39
Guard cells control what within a leaf?
Water loss
40
When a plant has lots of water the guard cells are what turgid, meaning the stoma opens and what escapes?
Water vapour
41
When the plane is short of water/ too dark the guard cells are flaccid, causing the stoma to what?
Close
