1
Q
Hierarchy
A
Organelle, Cell, Tissue, Organ, Organ system
2
Q
What is the plant structure and function?
(two parts, transport and bringing in)
A
- the root system brings water and nutrients in from the soil
- the shoot system transports water and nutrients to leave and flowers
3
Q
What is cohesion?
A
-Water sticks to itself
4
Q
What is adhesion?
A
-Water sticks to xylem wall
5
Q
What is the xylem?
A
- The xylem is one of the two types of transport tissue in a plant
6
Q
What does the xylem do?
A
-transports water and nutrients from roots to stem and leaves
7
Q
Plant organs
A
-Roots
-Organs
-Systems
8
Q
What is the Ploem?
A
- The Phloem is one of the two types of transport tissue in plants
9
Q
What is the role of the phloem?
A
- transports material around the plant like sugars and nutrients that are made from photosynthesis
10
Q
What is transpiration?
A
- evaporation of water from leaves through the stoma
(Xylem)
11
Q
What is translocation?
A
- transport of sugars made by photosynthesis from leaves to sink (fruit)
12
Q
Which transportation tissue found in plants is living?
A
- Phloem
13
Q
Which transportation tissue found in plants is dead?
A
- Xylem
14
Q
What is the stoma?
A
-is an opening in the plant cell
15
Q
What is the role of the stroma?
A
-opens to let CO2 out
-allows H2O to evaporate
