Question 2
2. How do the unique properties of water assist plants in transportation of water through the vascular system?(1 point)
Responses

Water's ability to dissolve allows it to flow through the xylem and phloem at a fast rate
Water's ability to dissolve allows it to flow through the xylem and phloem at a fast rate

Cohesion allows water to stick to itself and flow up through the xylem through capillary action
Cohesion allows water to stick to itself and flow up through the xylem through capillary action

Polarity allows water to be attracted to the leaves and be absorbed through evaporation
Polarity allows water to be attracted to the leaves and be absorbed through evaporation

Adhesion allows water to flow down the xylem into the roots

Question 4
4. Plants have organs and tissues, just like animals. Which of the following correctly compares the structure and function of stoma (plural: stomata) in plants to a familiar organ in the human body?(1 point)
Responses

A stoma is like a brain, because it controls all transport of water in the vascular system
A stoma is like a brain, because it controls all transport of water in the vascular system

A stoma is like a heart, because it pumps water through the roots of a plant
A stoma is like a heart, because it pumps water through the roots of a plant

A stoma is like a stomach, because it chemically digest compounds needed for photosynthesis
A stoma is like a stomach, because it chemically digest compounds needed for photosynthesis

A stoma is like a mouth, because it allows for exchange of gasses with the outside environment
