2. What enters the leaf through the stomata? What exits the leaf through
the stomata?
3. Describe how certain properties of water allow for transpiration to take
place.

1. The cambium is a section of cells in a plant that can become either
part of the xylem or phloem, depending on the growth and needs of
the plant. If the cambium of a particular plant was damaged, what
would be the most likely effect on the plant?
A. The plant would lose its ability to carry out photosynthesis.
B. The plant would have uncontrolled growth.
C. The plant would not experience any change in physiology.
D. The plant would not be able to transport nutrients and water.
2. Terrestrial plants have stomata on the surface of their leaves. A single
stoma is surrounded by two guard cells that change shape in response to
environmental factors and open or close the stoma. Which of the following
best explains the function of the guard cells and stomata?
A. Water enters the plant through the surface of the leaf for transpiration.
B. The guard cells control the amount of water that is released as
transpiration occurs.
C. Energy for cellular reproduction is absorbed through the stomata in the
leaf.
D. Carbon dioxide enters the plant through the surface of the leaf for
cellular respiration.

3. Terrestrial plants have a waxy covering produced by the dermal tissues
called the cuticle. If this waxy covering was overproduced so that the
stomata became clogged, what would happen totheplant?
A. Glucose produced during photosynthesis would be prevented from
reaching the rest of the plant, and energy production by cellular respiration
would stop.
B. Sunlight would not be able to reach the plant's ground tissue cells
through the thick dermal tissue, and the plant's ability to perform
photosynthesis would be damaged.
C. The plant would not be able to absorb water and oxygen from the air,
and the plant would dry out, limiting most cell functions.
D. The plant would not be able to exchange oxygen for carbon dioxide, and
the plant's ability to perform photosynthesis would be limited.
4. Answer the following questions about meristematic tissue of plants:
a. What does meristematic tissue do?
b. Where is it located?
c. Why does the location of meristematic tissue help the plant?
