What's the function of phloem? 1.) it conducts sugars, amino acids, and hormones throughout the plant? 2.) it conducts water, dissolves minerals, and inorganic ions from the roots 3.) it provides structural support in the form of tracheid and vessel elements 4.) it allows water to evaporate into the environment
When stomata open, what occurs?______ Water vapor is lost to the external environment, increasing the rate of transpiration Water vapor is lost to the external environment, decreasing the rate of transpiration Water vapor enters the spaces in the mesophyll increasing the rate of transpiration Water vapor enters the spaces in the mesophyll decreasing the rate of transpiration.
There is a trade-off between photosynthesis and transpiration in leaves because (a) numerous stomatal pores provide both gas exchange for photosynthesis and openings through which water vapor escapes (b) a waxy layer, the cuticle, reduces water loss (c) blue light triggers an influx of potassium ions (K+) into the guard cells (d) leaves of deciduous plants abscise as winter approaches in temperate climates (e) stomata are closed at night, although water continues to move into the roots by osmosis
