Name: _____________________________________ Date: __________ Class: ______ Review B.10B: Interactions in Plants B.10B: Describe the interactions that occur among systems that perform the functions of transport, reproduction, and response in plants. ✪ Readiness Standard 1. The transport of materials in plants is unified by a system of subterranean parts (roots) and aerial parts (leaves, stems, and flowers). Vascular tissues transport materials; xylem transports water and dissolved minerals from the roots into the shoots; and phloem transports manufactured sugars from the leaves to the nonphotosynthetic roots. 2. Water and gas exchange is imperative for plant growth. Water is transported from the roots to the leaves and is transpired out of the leaves, mostly through guard cells, which allow carbon dioxide to enter the plant and expel oxygen. 3. Plants communicate to other plants (through hormones) and respond to their environment. Even though plants are sessile, they respond directionally to light (phototropism) and gravity (gravitropism). Mineral deficiencies reflect soil composition and the functions nutrients provide for plants. 4. The sexual life cycle of plants involves alternation of haploid and diploid generations. Haploid gametophytes (1n) produce gametes by mitosis that form diploid (2n) zygotes through fertilization and then 2n sporophytes through mitosis. The diploid sporophyte produces haploid spores by meiosis, which creates gametophytes through mitosis. 5. Water and gas exchange is imperative for plant growth. Water is transported from the roots to the leaves and is transpired out of the leaves, mostly through guard cells, which allow carbon dioxide to enter the plant and expel oxygen.
