plants

Question 1

2 plant organ systems?

Answer 1

ROOTS AND SHOOTS!

Question 2

roots

Answer 2

everything underground.

anchors the plant, collects and
transport water and nutrients from the soil, and stores food

Question 3

shoots

Answer 3

everything over ground

Question 4

stem

Answer 4

transports water, minerals, and
nutrients throughout the plant;
supports the leaves and flowers

Question 5

what does a leaf do

Answer 5

photosynthesis
and gas exchange

Question 6

flower/fruit

Answer 6

sex

Question 7

meristematic cells

Answer 7

plant stem cells on tips

Question 8

4 types or plant tissue

Answer 8

1. Meristematic tissue: unspecialized tissue that is
   responsible for growing new parts of the plant
2. Epidermal tissue: forms the protective covering; allows exchange of materials and gases
3. Vascular tissue: transports substances throughout the plant
4. Ground tissue: provides strength and support in the
   stem, stores food and water in the roots, location of
   photosynthesis in leaves

Question 9

Stomata

Answer 9

structures that open and close to allow CO2, water vapour, and oxygen to move in/out of the leaf

made by guard cell

Question 10

gas exchange

Answer 10

root hairs and stomata

Question 11

Mesophyll

Answer 11

-high # of chloroplasts
-sandwhiched in epidermal
ground tissue for photosynthesis

Question 12

xylem

Answer 12

one-way transportation of water
and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant

Question 13

phloem

Answer 13

two-way transportation of water
and nutrients (such as glucose) from the photosynthetic parts of the plant to all cells

Question 14

Turgor pressure

Answer 14

pressure exertedwhen the cell membrane pushes against
the cell wall.
● Low water → central vacuole shrinks →decreased turgor pressure → plant wilts
● The cell wall needs to be strong so that cells don’t burst with too much turgor pressure
