Terrestrial plants have stomata on the surface of their leaves. A single stoma is surrounded by two guard cells that change shape in response to nvironmental factors and open or close the stoma. Which of the following est explains how the structure of the leaf is used in processes that occur the plant? Water enters the plant through the surface of the leaf for transpiration. Gases for photosynthesis are exchanged through the surface of the leaf.

Where is chlorophyll located in the chloroplast? (a) thylakoid membranes (b) stroma (c) matrix (d) thylakoid lumen (e) between the inner and outer membranes
An indoor gardener leaving for vacation completely wraps a potted plant with clear plastic. Temperature and light are left at low intensities. The effect of this strategy is to: a. halt photosynthesis. b. reduce transpiration. c. cause guard cells to shrink and stomata to open. d. destroy cohesion of water molecules in the xylem. e. increase evaporation from leaf mesophyll cells.
Photosynthesis sustains plant growth, and inputs of sunlight sustain photosynthesis. Why, then, do seedlings that germinate in a fully darkened room grow taller than seedlings or the same species that germinate in full sun?
Which of the following resource(s) do plants need to survive (select all that apply): A. O2 for cellular respiration B. nitrogen and minerals as molecular building blocks C. Glucose for cellular respiration D. CO2 for photosynthesis E. H2O for structure and turgor pressure
Why is turgor pressure a property of plant cells?a. Plant cells possess the necessary chloroplasts.b. Plant cells possess a cell wall, necessary for formation of turgor.c. Plant cells possess mitochondria, which provide the ATP needed forturgor.d. All of the above are true.e. None of the above are true.
Leaves carry out many roles in a plant’s life. Give examples of leaves that do the following:a. Provide protectionb. Provide supportc. Provide storaged. Obtain nitrogenAre leaf structures and metabolisms that are selectively advantageous for one of these functions also advantageous for all of them?
Gases enter and leave plant leaves through pores calleda. stomata.b. meristems.c. chloroplasts.d. trichomes
A stoma (plural: stomata) is a tiny pore found on the underside of a leaf. When open, carbon dioxide can diffuse from the atmosphere, where it is present at approximately Catm= 0.70 mg/L, between the L = 5 μm thick guard cells, into the relatively well mixed air cavity within each stoma, and from the cavity into cells that consume it during photosynthesis. What is the mass flux of carbon dioxide into an open stoma that has a cross-sectional area of A = 2 μm2, a diffusion coefficient of D = 0.16 cm2/s, and a steady air cavity concentration of Cs = 0.04 mg/L?
In which compartment of the plant cell do the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis take place? a. thylakoid b. stroma c. outer membrane d. mesophyll
Two major processes are involved in the dissipation of heat from plant leaves: convection of heat, and(a) Photosynthesis (b) Stomatal Conductance (c) Mineral Nutrition (d) Transpiration (e) Growth
In which compartment of the plant cell do the lightindependentreactions of photosynthesis take place?a. thylakoidb. stromac. outer membraned. mesophyll
What are potential outcomes when a plant's stomata close in response to heat and water stress? Select all that apply. CO2 and O2 may compete for the active site of rubisco. Photorespiration is more likely to occur. Photosynthesis is more efficient. Gas exchange comes to a halt.
