Answers

1
Movement in the xylem depends on thermal energy from the sun. What about the phloem?
Energy from the sugars it is transporting
Strength from the vascular bundles
Energy released by respiration in mitochondria
Diffusion processes
2
Which of the following statements isn't true about the xylem
It transports sugar in a downwards direction
It has thick, rigid walls to stop it from collapsing
It is made of hollow dead tubes
•It transports water and minerals inan upwards direction
3
Where in the plant does the phloem transport the sugars to?
Cells in the vascular bundles
Storage tissues in the roots
growing tissues in the tips of the root and shoot
Cells in the leaves
4
What process allows water to move into a plant's root hair cells
Refraction
Diffusion
Osmosis
Active transport
5
Compare the concentration of solutes around a plant's root system to its root hair cells
Higher concentration
The same concentration
Lower concentration
6
Where in the plant are sugars produced?
Xylem vessels
Vascular bundles
Roots
Leaves
7
What are 'vascular bundles'?
Groups of valves in the xylem
Groups of vacuoles in the phloem
Groups of minerals being transported up the xylem
Groups of xylem and phloem tissues
8
