Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Plants consist of vegetative structures- roots, leaves, and stems, and the reproductive structures- flowers and fruits. The plant organs consists of four kinds of tissues namely, epidermal tissue, meristematic tissue, vascular tissue, and ground tissue.

One of the major differences between roots and leaves is
roots have vascular tissue but leaves do not.
root cells have cell walls and leaf cells do not.
only leaves have phloem and only roots have xylem.
a waxy cuticle covers leaves but it is absent in roots.
The tip of a plant like the prairie species we grew in
class, where cells are continuously dividing and growing,
as well as the tips of the roots where cell division
continues throughout the plant's life are termed
meristems
cambium
O ground tissue
sclerenchyma

Transpiration draws water from the leaf. Negative water potential draws water into the root hairs. Cohesion and adhesion draw water up the phloem. Transpiration draws water from the leaf. Water potential decreases from the roots to the top of the plant. Water enters the plants through root hairs and exits through stoma.arrow_forwardThe plant picture below, and most likely have what type of root systemarrow_forwardPlant tissues types and componentsarrow_forward
- Plant B grows in unstable soil, it also needs to grow rather tall and grow quickly. This results in a tall, thin plant, grows, reproduces and dies in one year. What type of root adaptaion might it have, and what kind of life cycle would it have (use the plant terminology for life cycles)?

- A certain plant , typically found the stem and in the hard outer covering of seeds , contains very thick , rigid cells Which of the following correctly identifies this issue and its function? ANSWER CHOICES ARE IN THE PHOTO. thanks.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is the defining feature of true vascular tissue in plants? Group of answer choices the presence of lignin tracheids vessel elements the presence of cellulose none of the abovearrow_forwardA mutation causes the vascular cambium in a plant to stop working. How does this impact cellular respiration? The stomata would remain open and release water vapor. The guard cells would remain closed and store water vapor. The leaves would not be able to release glucose for energy production. The xylem would not be able to transport water to the rest of the plant.arrow_forward
