• What are the 3 main reasons plant need a transport system

  Metabolic demand, size and SA:V ratio
• Why does metabolic demands mean plants need a transport system


  Many parts of the plant cannot make their own oxygen and glucose so it needs to be transported to these areas
• why does size mean a plant have needs a transport system 


  Plants need an effective transport system since they are quite large
• Why does SA:V ratio mean a plant needs a transport system 


  Leaves have a large SA:V ratio, however when stems, trunks and roots are taken into account plants have a relatively small SA:V ratio meaning they cannot rely of diffusion to supply the cells with everything they need
• What do dicotyledonous plants seeds contain

  Cotyledons which are organs that act as food stores for the developing embryo plant
• What are the two types of dicotyledonous plants 


  Herbaceous and arborescent (woody)
• What is a herbaceous dicotyledonous plant 


  Soft tissue with a relatively short life cycle
• What is a arborescent dicotyledonous plant 


  Woody which have hard lignified tissue and a long life cycle
• What transport vessel do dicotyledonous plants have running through then

  Vascular systems
• What is the vascular system in herbaceous dicotyledonous plants made up of

  Xylem and phloem
