How do vascular tissue and dermal tissue work together to achieve homeostasis for a plant?Select one:a.Vascular tissue carries water to the leaves for photosynthesis, and dermal tissue prevents or slows water loss.b.Vascular tissue provides support for the plant, and dermal tissue provides protection by forming a woody outside layer.c.Stems contain both vascular and dermal tissue for transport, and storage of sugars made during photosynthesis.d.Leaves contain vascular tissue for transport of sugars, and dermal tissue for making sugars.

The development of vascular tissue in plants is an adaptation to larger size in plants and life on land. Which of the following BEST describes the specialized cells of vascular tissue and their functions?Select one:a.Dermal - absorb water and gases from the soil and air; cortex - develops a central core to support the plantb.Xylem - cells that are empty except for the water and soluble minerals they transport; phloem - ground tissue that stores food made during photosynthesisc.Xylem - thick-walled cells that conduct water and soluble minerals from roots to stems and leaves; phloem - cells with modified organelles that conduct sugars and other nutrients throughout the plantd.Root hairs - projections of root cells that increase the surface area of roots; phloem - cells that expand and contract to respond to sunlight

Which is not a characteristic of a plant's vascular tissue?A.It transports egg and sperm cells for reproduction.B.It supports the plant's stems and leaves.C.It positions the plant's leaves closer to the sun.D.It transports water and food inside the plant.

How does the structure of dermal tissue allow it to carry out its function?A.Its cells are small and tightly packed in order to form a protective covering for the plant.B.Its cells have thick, fibrous cell walls that provide strength and flexibility to the plant.C.Its cells are narrow, hollow tubes with pits that allow water to be transported throughout the plant.D.Its cells have large vacuoles that can expand to store sugars and water for the plant.SUBMITarrow_backPREVIOUS

Which type of tissue in plants is responsible for the transportation of water and nutrients?a) Meristematic tissueb) Epidermal tissuec) Vascular tissued) Parenchyma tissue

This plant tissue makes up all the other structures inside the plant and it provides support, storage, etc. Question 34 options: Vascular tissue Ground tissue Meristematic tissue Dermal tissue
