Question
Answer
What does xylem do?   Xylem carries water, phosphates, potassium, and nitrates (protein) from the roots to the rest of the plant through the inner place of the stem  
🗑
What does phloem do?   Phloem carries sucrose (sugar) and amino acids (to make protein) from the leaves to the rest of the plant through the outer place of the stem.  
🗑
Describe the pathway taken by water through a plant from soil to leaves   It is absorbed in the root hair cells and carried to the root cortex cells, then to the xylem vessels in the stem and finally ends at the mesophyll cells in the leaves.  
🗑
Describe transpiration   It is the evaporation of water at the surface of the mesophyll cells followed by the loss of water vapour from plant leaves through the stomata.  
🗑
3 factors that affect transpiration   humidity, light temperature  
🗑
describe translocation   movement of nutrients such as glucose and amino acids from the leaves to other parts of the plants through the phloem  
🗑
What is amino acids made of   glucose made from photosynthesis and nitrates made from soil  
🗑
what does amino acids make   protein  
🗑
Whats stoma   holes that plants let the C02 in and oxygen and water vapour out  
🗑
How does stomata closes and opens   the guard cell opens in the daylight and closes in night  
🗑
State the pathway taken by water through root, stem and leaf   root hair cells to root cortex cells to xylem vessels to mesophyll  
🗑
What causes water to be pulled up the stem of plants   The differences of the concentration of solute drives the forces up a plant. The cohesion of water molecules makes them go up.  
🗑
Why does the xylem vessels have a thick wall   It has a thick wall to stiffen itself.  
🗑
What is cohesion?   It's the movement of water molecules bonding together because of the different charges between them.  
🗑
Besides transpiration, what does the plant create to force water vapour going up?   Root pressure created by the root  
🗑
Why do plants need nitrogen   to make protein  
🗑
Why do plants need magnesium   to make chloroplasts  
🗑
What are done with glucose   1. stored as starch 2. used for respiration 3. changed to sucrose to travel to roots  
🗑
What enters the leaf through stomata during photosynthsis   CO2  
🗑
State the direction of sucrose   leaves to other parts through phloem  
🗑
State the direction of nitrates   roots to other parts through xylem  
🗑
State the differences between xylem and phloem   1. Xylem carries water, nitrates, and mineral ions; phloem carries amino acids and sucrose 2. Xylem has only one way (roots to leaves); phloem have two ways 3. xylem has no end wall between cells; phloem has walls between cells  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
