What are the names of the structures that carry food and water to humans and plants?
circulatory system and vascular system
100
What does classify mean?
sort by similarities
100
What is a vascular bundle?
a group of xylem and phloem tubes
100

Did the celery with leaves or without leaves gain more mass during our experiment?

celery with leaves

100
Where does water enter a plant?
Roots
200
How are the vascular system and circulatory system the same?
They both transport food and water to the cells through vessels.
200
Describe a parallel leaf
all veins going parallel from stem to tip
200
What does xylem tube carry?
carries water to the cells
200

Some of the water in the vials was absorbed the celery, where did the rest of the water go?

It evaporated.
200
What part of a plant is a potato?
root
300

How many parts does each structure have (circulatory & vascular)

Circulatory 1 Vascular 2

300
Describe a palmate leaf
veins immediately branch out from the stem
300
Where does the xylem tubes go?
from the roots up to all of the cells
300

Where did the water go? Why more in one type of celery than the other?

absorbed by the celery, more by the one with leaves.

300
What do plants need to make food?
sun, water, and air (CO2)
400

Name the vessels of each system (circulatory & vascular)


Circulatory - Arteries, capillaries, veins Vascular - Xylem and phloem

400
Describe a pinnate leaf
veins branch out from the main vain that runs down the center of the leaf, stem to tip.
400
What is sap?
liquid sugar made in the leaves
400
Why does one vial have only water?
as a control to see how much water evaporates
400
In the cross-section of celery that we looked at, what were the red spots?
xylem
500

How do the circulatory and vascular systems function differently?

Circulatory system is one that delivers all that cells need in one system that goes around and around. Vascular system consists of two different systems - each doing separate jobs and only delivering to cells

500
What is the margin of a leaf?
the shape of the edge
500
What does a phloem tube do?
carries sap from the leaves to the rest of the plant
500

What other questions could be researched next relating to leaves, celery and water absorption?

Answers vary

Sample: Does the number of celery leaves determine how much water is absorbed?
