tissues and organs in plants

    Cards (22)

    • name four plant organs
      leaf, stem, flower, roots
    • what is the function of the leaves
      photosynthesis
    • what is the function of the stem
      support
    • what is the function of the flower
      attracts insects for pollination and reproduction
    • what cells line the roots
      root hair cells
    • why do root hair cells have a large surface area

      absorb water by osmosis
    • what do roots absorb by osmosis
      water
    • what do roots absorb by active transport
      minerals and nutrients
    • which cell organelle in root hair cells releases the energy needed for active transport

      mitochondria
    • how are root hair cells adapted for their function
      lots of tiny hairs, give it a large surface area
    • why do cells in plant roots not photosynthesise
      they dont have chloroplasts
    • name two plant tissues
      phloem and xylem
    • what does the phloem tissue transport

      sugar
    • what does the xylem transport

      water and mineral ions
    • what is the function of the cell wall
      to keep the cell sturdy
    • what is the function of chloroplasts
      to absorb light for photosynthesis
    • what is the function of the permanent vacuole
      it contains cell sap
    • state three differences between plant and animal cells
      cell wall, vacuole, chloroplasts
    • what substance makes up the cell wall
      cellulose~
    • are plant cells eukaryotic or prokaryotic
      eukaryotic
    • in which plant tissue are stem cells found
      meristem
    • the three main parts of a seed are
      embryo, foodstore, seed coat
