- Water movement through the xylem needs less pressure than movement through living cells. A. Agree, because water moves in xylem through diffusion. B. Disagree, because water needs turgor pressure in order to diffuse. D. Disagree, beacuse both need equal pressure for materials to pass through xylem and living cells like sievetubes. C. Agree, because water is non-living while photosynthates are living and must pass through living cells that require pressure.arrow_forwardGiven the meristem, vascular tissue, and cortex in plants, which one best needs respiration and which one needs it least?arrow_forwardDuring an experiment, a student covers all the stomata of a plant with nail polish, sealing them shut a)Predict how this would affect water transport b)How would this affect transport in the phloem?arrow_forward

- You decide to plant a garden with a beautiful black walnut tree at one end and a majestic white oak at the other end. You are quite disappointed, however, when none of the seeds you plant around the walnut tree grow. What might explain this observation? a. The walnut tree filters out too much light, so the seeds fail to germinate. b. The roots of the walnut tree deplete all of the nutrients from the soil, so the new seedlings starve. c. The walnut tree produces chemical toxins that prevent seed germination.arrow_forwardStomata (a) help prevent desiccation of plant tissues (b) transport water and minerals through plant tissues (c) allow gas exchange for photosynthesis (d) strengthen cell walls (e) produce male gametesarrow_forwardWhich statement best explains the relationship between the amount of sunlight a plant receives and the flow of energy into and out of the plant system? A An increase in the amount of sunlight adds more energy to the system and increases the rate of photosynthesis. B An increase in the amount of sunlight removes energy from the system and decreases the rate of photosynthesis. C A decrease in the amount of sunlight removes energy from the system and increases the rate of photosynthesis.
