1159813773In angiosperms , xylem consists of tracheids and...vessel elements1
1159813774Vascular tissue in plants consists ofxylem and phloem2
1159813775To observe mitosis, which part of the plant should a student examine under a compound microscope?tip of the shoot and tip of the roots3
1159813776The layer of cells that encloses the vascular tissue in the central region of a root is theendodermis4
1159813777The vascular cylinder of a root consists ofxylem and phloem5
1159813778Root pressure is produced where and by what?Vascular cylinder by active transport6
1159813779What are the three main functions of stems?Carries water and nutrients between stems and leaves, produce leaves, branches and flowers, hold leaves up to the sun for photosynthesis to occur, and transport substances throughout the plant.7
1159813780Many cacti, such as saguaros and barrel cacti, have large stems and no leaves. What function of the leaves is taken on by the stems of such cacti?Photosynthesis8
1159813781During primary growth, a stem...grows taller and increases in length9
1159813782Oxygen and carbon dioxide move in and out of the leaf through thestomata (see diagram on worksheet)10
1159813783In Figure 23-1, water pressure in the ........... is high.guard cells11
1159813784In many plants, stomata are found only on the lower surface of the leaf. The most likely explanation for this fact is that....water loss will be less on the lower shaded surface than in the direct sun.12
1159813785The attraction of water molecules to other kinds of molecules (like those in glass and plastic for example) is called...adhesion13
1159813786What are the parts of the pressure-flow hypothesis?the movement of water into a nutrient rich region of the phloem decreases the pressure in that region.14
1159813787Ground tissue is found in what parts of a plant?Stem, root, and leaf15
1159813788In plants, the main organs in which photosynthesis takes place areleaves16
1159813789Root hairs are made up of ........... tissue.dermal17
1159813790In plants the opening and closing of stomata balance water loss with the need forsun and CO2 (carbon dioxide)18
1159813791............ at the tips of stems and roots produce rapid growth in plantsMeristems19
1159813792In Figure 23-2, structure B is the ............, which includes a waterproof zone called the ................endodermis......casparian strip20
1159813793In xylem and phloem, the cells that keep their nuclei and organelles are the....companion cells.21
1159813794Contrast the flow of materials in xylem and phloem?Xylem: water....up Phloem: Nutrients....up and down22
1159813795A scientist discovers a new plant. She notes that the plant forms wood as it becomes taller. Did the scientist discover a monocot or a dicot? Explain.Dicot because wood is the secondary growth of dicots as monocots only produce primary growth.23
1159813796During a very hot, sunny day, are stomata likely to be open or closed? ExplainClosed so they don't lose water.24
