What would probably happen to a plant that kept its stomata open all the time? The water loss due to transpiration would be so great that the plant would be unable to take in enough water to survive. 17. What is the balance plants maintain that prevents them from losing too much water? Plants keep their stomata open just enough to allow photosynthesis to take place, but not so much that they lose an excessive amount of water. 18.

When you write a summary, write only the most important points. Write a summary of the information under the blue heading Leaf Functions. Your summary should be shorter than the text on which it is based. Do your work on a separate sheet of paper. Students’ summaries should include definitions of the boldface terms, as well as the main points under each of the two subheadings.

Water Transport (pages 599–601) 1. What combination of factors provides enough force to move water through the xylem tissue of even the tallest plant?

The tendency of water to rise in a thin tube is called capillary action . 4. How does the thinness of a tube affect how high water will rise because of capillary action? Show your answer by drawing how high water would rise in each of the tubes on the illustration. © Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 5. The tubelike structures of what two kinds of cells use capillary action to raise water above the level of ground? a. Tracheids 410 b. Vessel elements Guided Reading and Study Workbook/Chapter 23 BIO_ALL IN1_StGd_tese_ch23 8/7/03 5:22 PM Page 411 Name______________________________ Class __________________ Date ______________ 6. How do vessel elements form continuous tubes through which water can move freely? Their cell walls are lost at both ends when the cells die. 7. What causes the process known as transpiration pull? When water is lost through transpiration, osmotic pressure moves water out of the vascular tissue of the leaf. The movement of water out of the leaf “pulls” water upward through the vascular system from the roots. 8. What normally keeps a plant’s leaves and stems rigid? Osmotic pressure on the plant’s cell walls keeps the leaves and stems rigid. 9. High transpiration rates can lead to water loss that is severe enough to wilting cause . 10. How does the loss of osmotic pressure in leaves slow down the rate of transpiration? The loss of osmotic pressure causes guard cells to close, thereby slowing down the rate of transpiration. Nutrient Transport (pages 601–602) 11. The movement of sugars out of leaves and through stems to fruitstakes place in what Phloem kind of vascular tissue? 12. Is the following sentence true or false? Many plants pump food down into their roots true for winter storage. 13. The hypothesis that considers plants in terms of where they produce and use materials from photosynthesis is called the pressure-flow hypothesis . 14. Complete the flowchart about the pressure-flow hypothesis. Photosynthesis produces a high concentration of sugars in a cell, called the © Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. source cell. Sugars move from the cell to phloem, and water also moves into the phloem by the process of osmosis . pressure Water moving into the phloem causes an increase in . The pressure causes fluid to move through the phloem toward a cell where sugars are lower in concentration, called the Guided Reading and Study Workbook/Chapter 23 sink cell. 411 BIO_ALL IN1_StGd_tese_ch23 8/7/03 5:22 PM Page 412 Name______________________________ Class __________________ Date ______________ WordWise Use the clues to help you find the vocabulary terms from Chapter 23 hidden in the puzzle below.
