Match each item to the correct Root System.

Description: One long core root surrounded by smaller root hairs.
Benefit: Helps with water and nutrient absorption closer to the surface of the soil.
Benefit: Excellent way to store food and tends to be very drought resistant.
Description: Roots that branch out into many smaller roots to cover a larger surface area.

Structures represented in the illustration below are found in the lower epidermis of a plant leaf. The illustration to the left shows normal conditions, while the illustration to the right shows the response to a certain environmental condition.
The response represented in the illustration would most likely be caused by...

Long periods of rainfall.

A reduced supply of oxygen.

High concentrations of glucose.

Little available water.

How do the leaves of a plant receive the WATER (H₂O) that they need in order to do photosynthesis?

The roots absorb the water, where it gets transported through the phloem to the leaves.

The roots absorb the water, where it gets transported through the xylem to the leaves.

The stem absorbs the water, where it gets transported through the xylem to the leaves.

The leaves absorb the water directly through their stomata when it rains.

How do the leaves of a plant receive the CARBON DIOXIDE (CO₂) that they need in order to do photosynthesis?

The roots take in carbon dioxide, where it gets transported through the xylem to the leaves.

The leaves take in carbon dioxide directly through microscopic openings on the bottom of the leaves, known as the stomata.

The leaves take in carbon dioxide directly through the waxy, protective layer on the top of the leaves, known as the cuticle.

The roots take in carbon dioxide, where it gets transported through the phloem to the leaves.

Many plants close their stomata during droughts (long periods of time with no rain) and will also close their stomata during the heat of the day.
Why would the guard cells want to close the stomata?

To prevent too much water from being taken in.

To prevent too much glucose from being lost.

To prevent too much oxygen from being taken in.

To prevent too much water from being lost.

A variety of carnivorous plants exist including the Venus Flytrap, Pitcher Plant, and Sundews as seen below. These plants typically grow in areas with poor soil nutrients. Each of these carnivorous plants trap insect to consume (eat).
The Venus flytrap clamps down when it feels an insect inside of the trap. Pitcher plants drown insects with in their sweet smelling nectar and close the "lid" so the insect cannot escape. The Sundew produces sticky adhesive "dew drops" that insect become stuck to. Once they are stuck, the sundew wraps around the insect to extract nutrients.
Why are some plants carnivorous?
How do these carnivorous plants move?
Select TWO answers from the options provided (one of each color).

1. Carnivorous plants hunt for insects in order to become an apex predator

1. Carnivorous plants require nutrient absorption due to lack of nutrients found in poor soil

2. Movement occurs due to a response to stimuli

2. Movement occurs due to photosynthesis

Drosera capensis, the cape sundew, is a species of carnivorous plant that traps insects with a sticky liquid in order to digest them.
