Document Summary

Chapter questions: you are studying a plant from the arid southwestern united states. Skill: knowledge: an evolutionary adaptation that increases exposure of a plant to light in a dense forest is, closing of the stomata, lateral buds, apical dominance, absence of petioles, intercalary meristems. Skill: knowledge: a person working with plants may remove apical dominance by doing which of the following, pruning, deep watering of the roots, fertilizing, transplanting, feeding the plants nutrients. Skill: comprehension: land plants are composed of all the following tissue types except, mesodermal, epidermal, meristematic, vascular, ground tissue. Skill: knowledge: vascular plant tissue includes all of the following cell types except, vessel elements, sieve cells, tracheids, companion cells, cambium cells. Skill: knowledge: which functional plant cells lack a nucleus, xylem only, sieve cells only, companion cells only, both companion and parenchyma cells, both xylem and sieve-tube cells.

Phloem transports sugar down from the leaves to the rest of the plant. How do the cells of the xylem compare to the cells of the phloem? Select one: a. The xylem cells have thin cell walls, whereas the phloem cells have thick cell walls. b. The xylem cells are large, whereas the phloem cells are small. c. The xylem cells have chloroplasts, whereas the phloem cells do not have chloroplasts. d.

The xylem cells are square, whereas the phloem cells are round. From which part of the stem tissue is wood made? Select one: a. spongy mesophyll b. the cuticle c. old layers of xylem and phloem d. central parenchyma Flat leaves lose water to the environment more readily than pine needles do.

Flat leaves have more surface area. c. Flat leaves have a thicker epidermis. d. The stomata of flat leaves are sunken into the leaf.

1. What protects the leaf against desiccation and stress from other environmental factors? Select one: a. Stomata b. Mesophyll c. Epidermis d. Cuticle

2. Match the monocot stem terms to their definitions.

a) support the stem structurally and are dead fibrous cells that have thick walls

Answer choices: Parenchyma Phloem Sclerenchyma Xylem

b) transport water and nutrients up from the roots

c) characterized by large vacuoles, which store nutrients and food.

d) transport sugar formed in the leaves by photosynthesis to the rest of the plant to be used as food.

3. Match the eudicot stem terms to their definitions.

a)surrounds and protects the vascular bundle	Answer choices: Parenchyma Collenchyma Pericycle Cambium Pith
b)center portion of the stem
c) located underneath the collenchyma
d) strengthen young stems and synthesize food

4. Suppose you chop down a plant in the woods and bring it home to examine. You cut a cross section of the stem and you note that it has pith in the center. How would you classify this plant?

5. You encounter a shrubby-looking plant that you cannot tell if it has true wood or not. Upon cutting it open cross-sectionally, you note a layer of cork cambium. What does this tell you?

1. Select the true statements concerning tracheids.

	Tracheids are responsible foranchoring the plant to a substrate.
	Pterophytes lack tracheids but haveeuphylls.
	Without tracheids colonization ofland would not have been possible.
	All of the large dominant extantland plants are tracheophytes.
	Tracheids allow for efficienttransport of water over longer distances.
