Textbook Question
Chapter 20.5, Problem 11A
Because of transpiration, water
- evaporates directly from the root surface.
- flows from leaf veins through the stem, toward the roots.
- exits the leaf through stomata, pulling water into the leaf from leaf veins.
- exits xylem in leaf veins and enters phloem by osmosis.

- Which of the following processes enables a plant to extract nutrients from the soil? O Nutrient anions (sulfate, phosphate, nitrate, etc) are replaced by Cl on soil particles. Released nutrients become available in the soil water. Anions exchange places with cations during anion exchange, which confuses roots and turns HATS into LATS, after which the endodermis synthesizes a caspian endothelium O Cation exchange facilitates the breaking of covalent bonds between nutrients and soil particles O Protons replace nutrient cations on soil particlesarrow_forwardWhich of the following is not correct concerning plant xylem? The fluid (sap) in the xylem transports sperm and eggs throughout the plant. The fluid (sap) in the xylem transports water and ions. The fluid (sap) of the xylem moves from the roots toward the leaves of the plant. The xylem is composed of tubular cells that run throughout the stems and leaves of vascular plants.arrow_forwardThe part of the plant where cell division and growth is occurring is called the Question 21 options: Xylem Phloem Rhizoids Apical Meristemarrow_forward
- How are sugars transported in phloem? the formation of starch from sugar in the sink increases the osmotic concentration high turgor pressure in source sieve-tube elements pushes phloem sap to sink sieve-tube elements with low turgor pressure water is actively transported into the source region of the phloem to create the turgor pressure needed the combination of a high turgor pressure in the source and transpiration water loss from the sink moves solutes through phloem conduitsarrow_forwardMinerals and water are taken up into a plant through the root hairs. the root cap. taproots. the storage root.arrow_forwardTurgor pressure in a plant is directly related to the amount of water within the chloroplasts of the plant cell. how quickly nutrients can be absorbed from the soil. the amount of water within the central vacuole of the plant cell. the number of vacuoles within a plant cell. how quickly water can be absorbed through the roots.arrow_forward
- A mutation causes the vascular cambium in a plant to stop working. How does this impact cellular respiration? The stomata would remain open and release water vapor. The guard cells would remain closed and store water vapor. The leaves would not be able to release glucose for energy production. The xylem would not be able to transport water to the rest of the plant.arrow_forwardMovement of sugar within phloem from source to sink involves... Select all that apply.

- An environmental factor that makes it possible for roots to grow deeper into the soil Light intensity Gravitational force Air supply None of the abovearrow_forwardChoose the statements that apply to transpiration in the cohesion-tension theory. (Check all that apply) Check All That Apply The H-bonds in water allow for cohesion. Water pressure builds in roots to drive water up the plant. Exposed water in leaves evaporates into drier air. Water forms a continuous stream from leaf into the root. In addition to water, heat is lost cooling the plant during transpiration.arrow_forwardWhich event would occur when guard cells are filled with water? gases cannot diffuse into the plant opening of stomata diffusion of sugars into the sieve tube members closing of stomata gases cannot diffuse out of the plantarrow_forward
