    What are the three plant tissue systems?

    They are protective, transport, and fundamental tissues.

    What is the function of the epidermis in plants?

    It protects underlying cells and aids in water absorption.

    How does xylem differ from phloem?

    Xylem transports water and minerals; phloem transports nutrients.

    What role do tracheids play in plants?

    They facilitate water transport in the xylem.

    What is the primary function of phloem?

    It transports sugars and nutrients throughout the plant.

    What happens during the Calvin cycle?

    CO₂ is converted into glucose using ATP and NADPH.

    What is the significance of the cuticle on leaves?

    It reduces water loss through evaporation.

    What is the role of stomata in plants?

    They regulate gas exchange and water loss.

    How does temperature affect photosynthesis?

    Higher temperatures generally increase the rate of photosynthesis.

    What is the function of the Casparian strip?

    It regulates water and nutrient uptake in roots.

    What distinguishes a sun leaf from a shade leaf?

    Sun leaves are thicker and have more chloroplasts.

    What is the consequence of low CO₂ concentration on photosynthesis?

    It slows down the rate of photosynthesis.

    What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

    It absorbs light energy for converting CO₂ and H₂O into glucose.

    What is secondary growth in plants?

    It increases the thickness of stems and roots through cambium activity.

    What happens if a plant lacks essential nutrients?

    Growth is stunted, and physiological processes are impaired.

    What is transpiration?

    The loss of water vapor from plant leaves.
