Study Slideshow

Water is absorbed from the soil by (root hair - palisade - xylem) cells.

root hair

Plants need water for (cleaning - support - making xylem)

Support

Root hairs absorb (nutrients - water - both).

Both

Name the process by which water enters the root.

Osmosis

Name the process by which water is forces to move upwards through the xylem to reach the leaves

Transpiration

There are more stomata on the (lower - upper) surface of the leaf.

Lower

Explain how water is needed for cooling.

When water evaporates, it takes heat away with it, which cools the cells.

Which plant has more mass

The covered one

What happens when you treat leaves with petroleum jelly?!

The treated surface won't lose water vapor (Transpiration will be stopped)

The image shows a...........................

transverse section in of a root

The image shows a .........................

transverse section of a stem

Xylem is colored ................... in diagrams because it appears like this when treated with safranin

Red

Mention all the steps (in order) in which water enters and exits the plant, and name each process happening in each step.

1) root hair cells - absorption 2) xylem - transpiration pull 3) leaves - transpiration and evaporation
