Q
  1. In which layer of the leaf does the most photosynthesis occur and why?

Q
  1. Why would girdling kill a tree?
A

The phloem is removed and so food cannot be transported to the areas below the girdling.

29
Q
  1. The region to the outside of the xylem in a tree trunk?
A

30
Q
  1. What is an example of a chloroplast?
A

Plastid

32
Q
  1. Wood is a collection of?
A

Xylem

33
Q
  1. What is phototropism?
A

Growth response to light

34
Q
  1. What is gravitropism?
A

Growth response to gravity

36
Q
  1. List three things an annual growth rings composed of?
A

Spring wood
Xylem
Summerwood

36
Q
  1. Which is more flexible….woody stem or herbaceous stems?
A

Herbaceous stem

37
Q
  1. Does a plants stem exhibit negative gravitropism?
A

Yes

37
Q
  1. Is the closing of the Venus flytrap an example of thigmotropism?
A

No

38
Q
  1. What is the function of the cuticle on a leaf?
A

It protects the leaf

38
Q

33.Where are stomata found?

A

On the lower surface of a leaf

38
Q
  1. Changes in turgor pressure causes what kind of movement?
A

Nastic

39
Q
  1. Explain the flow of water in a plant from start to finish?
A

Water enters a plant through the root hairs and then passes into the root. It travels through the root Cells until it reaches the vascular tissues in the middle of the root where it enters the xylem. The xylem then transports the water along the stems all the way to the leaves at the top of the plant. The water then leaves the plant through openings in the leaves called stomata.

40
Q
  1. How do cell walls and turgor pressure help support the weight of a plant?
A

Cell walls are the rigid outer boundaries of cells that contain cellulose which is a strong substance. There are millions of these microscopic cell walls throughout the plant to provide strong support. When there is enough water inside the cell walls the plant cells become swollen creating turgor pressure.when there is enough turgor pressure the plant becomes stiff which helps support the plant And keep it upright.
