Part I – Fly Swat
Xylem Phloem Epidermis Endodermis Cortex Cambium
1. Transports water & minerals upward
2. Storage of food
3. Cell division (growth)
4. Transports food to roots for storage
5. One layer of cells located between the central cylinder & cortex; provides a layer of water-proofing
6. Provides protection
7. In woody stems, this tissue is replaced by bark
8. This tissue is found in herbaceous dicot stems but not in monocots
------
Taproot Adventitious Root Fibrous Root Aerial Root
1. Best adapted for storage
2. Has the most surface area and is best for absorption
3. Grows only in humid environments because it gets its moisture from the air
4. Best for preventing soil erosion
5. Best in a drought
6. Grows from swellings in the stem (above ground) to help brace the plant
7. Primary root is dominant, without a lot of secondary branching
8. Found only on rocks or trees in damp environments
9. Grass in an example of this
10. Corn is an example of this
11. Dandelions are an example of this
------
True False
1. Cork is the storage tissue found in roots
2. Photosynthesis occurs in the epidermis of the leaf
3. A cuticle is a non-living layer of a leaf that prevents plant tissues from drying out
4. Wind has a drying effect on plants and will decrease the rate of transpiration
5. A tree stem forms a new band of xylem during each year of growth
6. Sapwood is the active, functional wood found at the center of a woody stem
7. A potato is an example of a tuber – a modified stem that stores food underground
8. Transpiration is the loss of oxygen through a plant’s leaves
9. In plants, the opening and closing of stomata balance water loss with the need for carbon dioxide
10. When guard cells of a leaf lose water, the stomata open
------

Swellings in the stem from which some roots or new leaves develop
The vegetative plant organ mainly involved in food making
Dark, inactive wood found at the center of a woody stem – unable to conduct materials due to clogging by resins, gums, & tannins
