State what microscope would you use and give reasons why?
b) You have been provided with a plant showing the rooting system and the stem with several leaves.
Give SIX features that you will look for to determine whether this is a monocotyledonous plant or a
dicotyledonous plant. Present your answer in a clear, logical manner.
c) In an experiment students were given the following materials and apparatus:
- juices from three local fruits; 4% glucose solution; Benedict's solution; test tubes,
beakers, syringes and boiling water bath.

- Many different treatments were possible in the phototropism experiment. Based on your understanding of phototropism, provide predictions about the direction of plant growth for the following two scenarios, and explain your reasoning. 1. The tip of the coleoptile is removed and lanolin with auxin is applied to the dark side of the stem. 2. The tip of the coleoptile is removed and lanolin with auxin is applied to the light side of the stem.arrow_forwardA) The concentration of CO2 is lower inside a plant cell than in the atmosphere (outside the cell). In your own words, describe how the CO2 levels are kept low inside the plant cell and explain why this is necessary. Assume stomata are open. B) Regarding the situation presented in Part A and assuming that the stomata of the plant leaves are closed, would this favour the induction of photorespiration in a C3 plant? Explain. Make reference to relevant molecule or molecules as needed. Please clearly label your responses as A and Barrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about gravity perception is FALSE? A. Statoliths are specialized amyloplasts B. Statoliths are found in statocytes C. Gravity is sensed from the root cap acropetally through the zone of division D. Columella cells sense gravity through statolith pressure on the endoplasmic reticulum E. Auxin is the main hormone involved in gravity responsearrow_forward
- i. Based on Figure 2, identify the structure that regulates the movement of water and minerals towards the xylem in the root. ii. Name structure of the cell membrane allows it to act as a selective barrier? iii. Predict what will happen to the transportation of water and minerals through the plasma membrane if the root was poisoned and no cellular respiration occurred.arrow_forwardWhat is the conclusion?arrow_forwardBy choosing any 2 of the following topics/systems, discuss how does the animal and plant (name the animal and plant) works in maintaining their function in an environmental stress (name the stress) mentioned above. a) Transport System b) Digestive System c) Respiratory System d) Excretory Systemarrow_forward
- Kindly provide 2 examples plants having "adaptations for twining" including (i) mechanical support (ii) transportation for root materials (iii) production of new plants Kindly sketch the diagramarrow_forwardINSTRUCTIONS: Match each structure with the appropriate description (write the capital letter of your choice). Choices for functions may be repeated. (EXAMPLE: 1. B;5)arrow_forwardGiven that (a) xylem is located toward the upper epidermis in leaf veins and phloem is located toward the lower epidermis and (b) the vascular tissue of a leaf is continuous with that of the stem, suggest one possible arrangement of vascular tissues in the stem that might account for the arrangement of vascular tissue in the leaf.arrow_forward
- Determine the collective true-false status of the statements using the choices below. I. Xylem consists of cells called sieve elements and their associated companion cells.; II. Both sieve elements and the associated companion cells are alive in mature tissue.; III. Companion cells are a type of collenchyma.; IV. A companion cell provides each sieve element with metabolic support and transfers sugars into it. Only two (2) statements are true. None of the statements is true. All statements are true. Only one (1) statement is true. Only three (3) statements are true.arrow_forwardPlease answer the first questionarrow_forwardIn a comparison of the water potential and turgor pressure of leaf cells before and after wilting, which of the following would you expect to find?arrow_forward
