Transpiration

Root hairs

1

Water and _________ dissolved in water are absorbed by the root hairs.

minerals

2

Water moves into the ____________from the soil. It passes through the cell wall and the cell membrane into the cytoplasm.

root hair cell

3

Mineral ions like ___________ and __________ move into the root hair cell.

magnesium, nitrates

Xylem Vessels

1

It is also known as a plant's water transport system. It transports water and mineral ions up the plant.

xylem vessels

2

Where in the roots can you find the xylem vessels?

centre

3

If true, say true; if false, say the incorrect word.

Xylem vessels are living cells found in the roots, stems, and leaves.

living

Chloroplast

1

The chloroplast is inside the plant cell in the ________ of a plant.

leaves

2

Why does water enter the chloroplast?

because it reacts with carbon dioxide to make the food for the plant and oxygen for humans and animals

3

What liquid solution will you use to test if the leaf of the plant has starch?

iodine solution or just iodine

Stomata

1

There are ____________ stomata on the surface of the leaf facing the sun to prevent excessive water loss.

fewer

2

One stoma is made up of two ________ cells.

guard

3

____________ happens at the stomata of the plant leaves.

Gas exchange

Transpiration

1

Transpiration is the loss of ___________ from the leaves of a plant.

water vapour

2

Why does transpiration happen mostly from the underside of a leaf, not the top?

most of the stomata are found on the underside of a leaf

3

water → chloroplast for photosynthesis → soaks into the cellulose cell wall of the plant cell → changes to water vapour → water ______________

evaporates
