Transpiration

Answer 16

Is the loss of water vapour from the leaves of a plant

Question 17

Transpiration stream

Answer 17

The flow of water through a plant is called the transpiration steam

Question 18

Phloem

Answer 18

Food is transported from the leaves to the rest of the plant in the phloem

Question 19

Tropism

Answer 19

Is the growth of a plant in response to a stimulus

Plants are pollinated by either

Answer 31

Insects or wind

Question 32

Fertilisation

Answer 32

Is the fusion of the pollen nucleus with the egg nucleus to form a zygote
