Plant Transport Systems starts at 7 and continues till grade 12. QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Plant Transport Systems. How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take. When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 9
A plant is exposed to strong wind. Predict how this will affect its rate of transpiration.
A plant is placed in a humid environment. Predict how this will affect its rate of transpiration.
A student observes that a plant's leaves are drooping. Which plant transport process is most likely not functioning properly?
Describe how water moves from the soil into the root hair cells.
Describe the function of phloem in plants.
Describe the role of companion cells in the phloem.
Describe what would happen to a plant if its xylem vessels were blocked.
Explain how the structure of xylem vessels helps them carry out their function.
Explain the difference between xylem and phloem in terms of structure and function.
Explain the role of root hair cells in plant transport systems.
Explain why mineral ions cannot enter root hair cells by diffusion alone.
Explain why phloem transport is considered an active process.
Explain why transpiration is important for plants.
Name the two main types of transport tissues in plants.
