While camping you notice a “Do Not Litter” sign nailed onto the trunk of a mature oak tree about 7 feet off the ground. When you return five years later, will the sign be at the same height, or will the tree’s growth have raised it higher?
If a tree is leaning toward you, you will underestimate the height.
True
False
Stomata are pores on the surface of plant leaves that allow for gaseous exchange. The numbers below shows the density of stomata on the leaf surfaces of three species of plants. Based on this information, which statement is incorrect? Stomata Density: Elodea (upper epidermis) = 0, (lower epidermis) = 0, Water Lily (upper) = 420, (lower) = 0, Black Walnut (upper) = 0, (lower) = 465
a) Since Elodea does not have any stomata, it does not carry out photosynthesis.
b) In Elodea’s aquatic environment, stomata are not used to control gas exchange.
c) Since black walnut trees thrive on land, stomata are located on lower surface to decrease the amount of water lost in the heat of the sun.
d) Since water lilies live on the surface of water, transpiration occurs from the upper epidermis because that is where it is in contact with air.

The tree would grow wider instead of taller. The tree would not show any growth but would stay healthy and alive. The tree roots would grow deeper within the soil, but no growth would occur above ground. The tree would grow taller instead of wider. The tree growth would be uneven in many different directions.arrow_forward
