The main functions of the roots of plants are anchoring the plant and
absorbing water and minerals. _________________________

The cotyledons of beans are visible above the soil after germination.
_________________________

The cotyledons of a corn seed remain below the soil surface after
germination. _________________________

16.
|
Plants stop developing once they have matured.
_________________________
|
|
|
17.
|
Plants add new cells to the tips of their stems and roots, causing them to grow
longer. _________________________
|
|
|
18.
|
Cell division in meristems decreases the length and width of a plant.
_________________________
|
|
|
19.
|
Secondary tissues form as a result of cell division in a plant’s
apical meristems. _________________________
|
|
|
20.
|
Nitrogen is an essential mineral nutrient needed for plant growth and
development. _________________________
|
|
|
21.
|
Since calcium is a part of cell membranes, it plays a role in the support
of a plant’s body. _________________________
|
|
|
22.
|
If a plant becomes deficient in magnesium, it will not be able to perform
cellular respiration. _________________________
|
|
|
23.
|
The availability of light and nutrients affects the rate of plant growth.
_________________________
|
|
|
24.
|
The movement of water through a plant can be explained by the pressure-flow
model. _________________________
|
|
|
25.
|
The loss of water by translocation at the leaves helps pull water into
the plant at the roots. _________________________
|
|
|
26.
|
The rate of water absorption in roots is influenced by the amount of
water lost through transpiration. _________________________
|
|
|
27.
|
Osmosis between water molecules helps to pull water through a
plant’s xylem. _________________________
|
|
|
28.
|
The guard cells swell when they take in water, which closes the stomata
and allows transpiration to proceed. _________________________
|
|
|
29.
|
The movement of sugars into phloem cells requires the process of active
transport. _________________________
|
|
|
30.
|
The distribution of sugars within a plant is referred to as
transpiration. _________________________
|
|
|
31.
|
Sugars move in only two directions within the phloem of a plant.
_________________________

32.
|
Roots function in the storage of excess nutrients in many plants. Therefore,
roots are an example of a sink only. _________________________
|
|
|
33.
|
In plants, organic nutrients move through the xylem from where they are
made to where they are needed. _________________________
