Question

read the description below.
one of the ways that plant systems and
tissues work together is in the transport of
materials such as water, called transpiration.
in transpiration, water is taken into the plant
and then evaporates out of the leaves. first,
water is taken in through pores in the dermal
tissue of the roots and brought to the xylem
of the vascular tissue. the vascular tissue
then transports it up through the stem and
into the leaves. once in the parenchyma cells
of the ground tissue of the leaves,
photosynthesis and cellular respiration occur,
using that water. the water is then released
through guard cells of the dermal tissue into
the atmosphere.
which of the following tissues and systems were
involved in transpiration? check all that apply.
☐ roots
☐ stem
☐ leaves
☐ dermal tissue
☐ vascular tissue
☐ ground tissue
done

Explanation:

Transpiration involves water uptake, transport, and evaporation:

1. Roots: Dermal tissue in roots takes in water.
2. Stem: Vascular tissue in stems transports water upward.
3. Leaves: Water evaporates from leaf dermal tissue pores.
4. Dermal tissue: Facilitates water intake (roots) and release (leaves).
5. Vascular tissue: Xylem (part of vascular tissue) carries water from roots to leaves.
6. Ground tissue: Leaf parenchyma (ground tissue) uses water before evaporation, so it is involved.

Answer:

• roots
• stem
• leaves
• dermal tissue
• vascular tissue
• ground tissue
