- Determine the collective true-false status of the statements using the choices below. I. In most eudicot leaves, large veins branch into a network of minor veins.; II. A leaf’s lower surface usually has fewer stomata than the upper surface.; III. A leaf’s upper surface typically receives the most direct sunlight may have a thicker cuticle than the lower surface.; IV. Epidermal cells secrete a translucent, waxy cuticle that slows water loss. None of the statements is true. All statements are true. Only three (3) statements are true. Only one (1) statement is true. Only two (2) statements are true.arrow_forwardShow the sequence of secondary growth by drawing the row of cells from the boxed area below and labeling the vascular cambium cell (V), 5 xylem cells from oldest (X1) to youngest (X5), and 3 phloem cells (P1 to P3).

They are now interested in determining whether the moss must be alive to prevent nitrogen loss, or do dead moss have the same effect? Arrange the following steps in the correct sequence to test this hypothesis. 1. Add herbicide to the soil of the experimental plot of mosses. 2. Apply water equally to the experimental and control plots. 3. Measure initial soil nitrogen contents of control and experimental plots. 4. Quantify nitrogen loss from the soil of control and experimental plots. 5. Establish two identical plots of moss; one as a control, the other as the experimental treatment.

- While exploring a forest, you come upon a plant that you haven't seen before. You dig it up and take it back to your lab for further inspection. Back at the lab, you observe the characteristic structure of the plant and make some notes. Then, you carefully dissect the stems and leaves and look at the tissue under the microscope. Finally, you are able to determine the type of plant it is. Use the notes below to identify the class to which this plant belongs. Notes on physical characteristics of the specimen: the plant has no leaves or roots, but has hair-like rhizomes which anchors it in the soil the stems are highly branched sporangia are present at the ends of each stem dissection of the stem shows the presence of vascular tissue in the form of a xylem and phloemarrow_forwardLabel the Cycas Leaf CSarrow_forwardMatch Column A to Column Barrow_forward
- two leaves A and B, each having the petiole in a closed test tube full of water. Each is hung on a spring balance. Leaf A has a waxy cuticle on the upper epidermis and stomata on the lower epidermis. Leaf B a waxy cuticle on the upper epidermis and a lower epidermis covered with petroleum jelly. Both leaves were cut from the same plant. i)Explain why it is important for the leaves to be cut from the same plant. (ii) List TWO variabes that must be kept constant in this investigation. iii) Table 6 shows the results obtained in the experiment: leaf and test tube weight final weight change in weight A 40.7 39.9 0.8 B 38.7 38.7 0.0 Explain why the weight of set up A, decreased. iv) Using your biological knowledge, indicate how results will change, if a fan is switched on near the experimental set up. Explain your answer.arrow_forwardWhich of the following cell types remain alive in matureplant tissue?a. sclerenchyma c. tracheidsb. sieve elements d. vessel elementsarrow_forwardAs part of an experiment you are required to observe the external features of a fern. State what microscope would you use and give reasons why? You have been provided with a plant showing the rooting system and the stem with several leaves. Give SIX features that you will look for to determine whether this is a monocotyledonous plant or a dicotyledonous plant. Present your answer in a clear, logical manner. In an experiment students were given the following materials and apparatus: - juices from three local fruits; 4% glucose solution; Benedict's solution; test tubes, beakers, syringes and boiling water bath. Describe CLEARLY the procedure that can be used to estimate the amount of glucos present in each juice. Use numbered steps in your answer.arrow_forward
