Students have asked these similar questions
2. a) As part of an experiment you are required to observe the external features of a fern.
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.
Describe CLEARLY the procedure that can be used to estimate the amount of glucose
present in each juice. Use numbered steps in your answer.
Given below is an experimental setup to
demonstrate a particular tropic movement in
germinating seeds. Study the diagram and
answer the questions that follow
Perforated trough
Moist sawdust

-Brick
(i) Label the parts 1 and 2.
(ii) Name the tropic movement shown by part
1.
(iii) Part 1 is affected by two stimuli. Name
them. Which one of the two is stronger?

Describe how one may test for the presence of starch on a piece of potato tissue. iii) Give TWO characteristics of monocotyledonous plants. d. The transition of plants from an aquatic environment to a terrestrial one has broughtabout many evolutionary adaptations for plants to survive on land. Give ONE adaptationfor each of the following divisions:i) Mosses: ii) Gymnosperms.

- Please complete the following question:arrow_forwardMany 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_forwardFigure 2 shows the cross-section of a eudicot root. 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 occurredarrow_forward
- A) 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_forwardPhytochrome, plays an important role in flowering in many plants.
