Why is a transport system important to a multicellular organism?

to support life in the cells

15

Where do water and mineral salts enter a plant

root hair / roots

15

What two parts make the vascular bundle?

xylem and phloem tissue

15

What is osmosis?

The net movement of water molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration THROUGH a partially permeable membrane.

15

By which process do root hair take in water?

osmosis

15

What is transported by the xylem tissue?

water and mineral salts

15

Where does the xylem tissue transport water and mineral salts FROM and TO?

from roots to leaves

15

What is transported by the phloem tissue?

food

15

Where does the phloem transport food FROM and TO?

from leaves to other parts of the plant

15

What is diffusion?

The movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.

15

What will eventually happen to the concentration of salt and water molecules in diffusion?

They will have the same concentration.

15

What does the stoma in a leaf allow to happen?

Diffusion of gas in and out of the leaf.

15

What is the transport medium found in humans?

blood

15

Name the parts of the circulatory system.

heart, blood vessels, blood

15

Why is the heart an import part of the circulatory system?

It pumps the blood quickly and continuously around the body

15

What are capillaries?
