Which part of the plant is glucose produced in?
Roots
Stem
Leaves
|
What do we call the movement of cell sap (a mixture of sugar and water) up and down the plant?
|
Phloem cells have _________ in their end walls to allow cell sap to pass along the phloem tube.
lignin
pores
starch
stomata
|
What does the xylem transport in a plant?
Water and dissolved mineral ions
Water only
Water and dissolved sugars
|
How do root hair cells absorb water from the soil?
Diffusion
Active transport
Osmosis
|
How do root hair cells absorb mineral ions from the soil?
Active transport
Diffusion
Osmosis
Mass transport
|
Which substance are xylem cells reinforced with to make them stronger?
|
What is transpiration?
The evaporation of water from the leaves
The movement of water into the root hair cells
The release of energy in plant cells
|
What happens to the transpiration rate as the temperature increases?
It increases
It decreases
It stays the same
|
Are stomata normally open or closed during the night?
Open
Closed
|
Why does the rate of transpiration increase if the light intensity is increased?
The root hair cells become more permeable to water, letting more water into the plant.
The stomata open wider to let more carbon dioxide into the leaf for photosynthesis.
The humidity increases, which makes the rate of transpiration increase.
|
What happens to the rate of transpiration if wind speed increases?
It decreases
It increases
It stays the same
|
Why does water loss slow down if a plant is put into a plastic bag?
The temperature increases
The light intensity increases
The humidity increases
|
What is the movement of sugars throughout a plant called?
Transcription
Transpiration
Translocation
Translation
|
Water passes up the plant via the:
Phloem
Capillary
Xylem
Artery
|
Translocation takes place via tubes. These are made up of lots of phloem cells, which are separated by tiny pores that allow cell to pass through.
