Chapter 23, Problem 2MCQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Plant consists of complex conducting tissues for the transportation of water and nutrients internally from one part of the plant to the other parts. These conducting tissues are known as vascular tissues. There are two components of vascular tissue: xylem and phloem. Water absorbed by the roots of plants reaches to leaves due to cohesion property of water molecules.

Students have asked these similar questions
Guard cells surround stomata on the surface of leaves. A new herbicide targets the function of guard cells
and prevents them from becoming flaccid and closing the stomata. What effect would the herbicide have
on plants?
a.Plants would dry out because guard cells protect the epidermis against desiccation.
b.Plants would be eaten because guard cells protect leaves against herbivores.
c. Plants would dry out because stomata would not be able to close.
d.lt would regulate the intake of minerals in the plants.
Stomata play an important role in the homeostasis of a plant, which statement regarding
stomata is true?
A. When water concentrations are low in the plant, stomata will open.
B. Stomata density increases in plants in hot areas
C. Gases are moved through the stomata via active transport
D. Stomata control the concentration of gases in the plant
