Summary Introduction

To identify: The structure shown in micrograph A

Concept introduction: Vascular plants consist of two specialized tissues called as xylem and phloem that act as a conducting tube in plants for the transportation of water and sugar molecules throughout the plant. Xylem is a vascular tissue involved in the transportation of water and minerals from the root to the leaves of plants. It also provides mechanical support and storage to the plants. Xylem consists of two types of conducting cells namely tracheids and vessel elements. Both cells are together called as tracheary element.

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? 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. 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 glucos present in each juice. Use numbered steps in your answer.
