Which tissue primarily transports water upward from roots?
Xylem
Which structure controls gas exchange openings in leaves?
guard cells
Which is most characteristic of a monocot?
Parallel Veins
A leggy plant is most likely experiencing
insufficient light
What is an environmental need of a plant?
Light, water, nutrients
A plant has healthy roots but the leaves are not receiving enough light. Predict two effects on the plant and explain why.
Reduced photosynthesis, slower growth, possible yellowing/poor development; explanations should connect light to photosynthesis.
A plant is growing in soil that stays saturated with water. Explain why this can cause poor growth even though water is essential.
Saturated soil can reduce oxygen available to roots, impairing root respiration and function and potentially leading to poor growth/root problems.
