Grade 10 Biology: Lesson 8

Transpiration

________ helps move the water up the xylem by evaporating water out of the leaves.

Sap transport

________ in Phloem Vessels allows for nutrients to reach the various tissues in the plant.

Transports Sugars

________ produced by Photosynthesis from the Leaves to the rest of the plant.

Cohesion

________ and Adhesion help to drag the water molecules up the Xylem Vessels of the plant, however, the roots also help to push the water up the plant.

Transports Water

________ and dissolved minerals from the soil to the leaves.

Photosynthesis

After ________ has occurred in the leaves the sugars must be transported to the rest of the plant to be used as energy.

surface area

Root hairs help to increase the ________ of the roots.

Sugars

As the ________ enter the Phloem Vessels the solution becomes Hypertonic and draws in water by osmosis.

Xylem

If there is a bubble in the ________ or the water freezes the Cohesion can be disrupted and only the water molecules above the break will continue upwards.

Sugars and Dissolved Minerals

Plants need a way to transport materials such as Water, ________ throughout there various tissues.

Water

________ also has the ability to attract to other molecules.

Xylem Vessels

Water transport in ________ allows for Photosynthesis and Turgor Pressure in plants.

Phloem

________ transports the sugars (and other materials) throughout the plant.

Phloem cells

________ are alive at maturity and also act as pipes within the plant.

Epidermal tissue

________ covers the root.

Turgor Pressure

________ within the roots helps to force the Xylem sap into and up the Xylem Vessels.

Xylem cells

________ are dead at maturity and act like pipes within the plant.

Vessel Elements

The sap travels up through the Tracheid's and ________ of the Xylem Vessels towards the leaves As the Xylem sap enters the Leaves the Xylem Vessels branch into veins and deliver the water and minerals to the cells of the leaves.

Xylem Vessels

The cells are linked to each other forming continuous tubes called ________.

Lesson 8

water transport in plants

The Phloem cells are linked to each other forming continuous tubes called Phloem Vessels (Note

Cells are separated from each other by Sieve Plates)
