6thsci- Ch 5 Plants

Xylem is responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant. Stamen and pistil are parts of the flower responsible for reproduction.

The epidermis is the outermost layer of cells in a plant, responsible for allowing water and minerals to enter the root. Xylem and Phloem are vascular tissues responsible for water transport and nutrient transport within plants, respectively. The cortex is the region of a plant root between the epidermis and the vascular tissue.

A stoma is a tiny pore found on the surface of leaves that is responsible for gas exchange in plants. It allows carbon dioxide to enter the plant for photosynthesis and oxygen to exit. Chlorophyll is a green pigment in plants that aids in photosynthesis. Petiole is the stalk that attaches a leaf to a stem. Xylem is a type of plant tissue responsible for transporting water and nutrients.

Tropism is the movement or growth of a plant in response to a stimulus such as light or gravity. The other options refer to different processes in plants - photosynthesis is the process by which plants make their food, germination is the beginning of growth from a seed, and transpiration is the release of water vapor from plants.

Cellular Respiration is the correct answer as it is the biochemical process that converts nutrients into energy in the form of ATP. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy. Fermentation is an anaerobic process that produces ATP without the use of oxygen. Glycolysis is the initial step in cellular respiration where glucose is broken down into pyruvate.

Transpiration is the process by which water is lost from the leaf surface through small openings called stomata. Evaporation refers to the process of liquid water changing into water vapor. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. Condensation is the process by which water vapor in the air becomes liquid water.

The correct answer is Guard Cell, which regulates the opening and closing of stomata in plant leaves. Stem Cells are undifferentiated cells that can develop into various types of cells. Red Blood Cells are responsible for carrying oxygen in the blood. Nerve Cells transmit electrical signals within the nervous system.

Photosynthesis is the correct answer as it is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize food in the form of glucose. Respiration, fermentation, and transpiration are not the processes through which plants make glucose using energy from light.
