Question 2

palisade cell

Answer 2

where most photosynthesis occurred

Question 3

spongy mesophyll

Answer 3

loosely packed to enable gas exchange

Question 4

Stomata

Answer 4

(the mouth)
takes in carbon dioxide releases water

-small openings in the epidermal layer allows gas in and out

Question 5

xylem

Answer 5

-plants vascular tissue

-carries water and minerals from the root to leaves

• passive transport

Question 6

phloem

Answer 6

-vascular tissue

-Carry sugars produced by the leaves to various parts of the plant

Question 7

Guard cell

Answer 7

-Guard from losing too much water
