#4
Front (Question)

Pathway taken by water in a plant

Back (Answer)

soil —> root hair cells on the surface of a root —> root cortex cells in root —> xylem through the stem —> mesophyll cells in the leaf

#5
Front (Question)

transpiration

Back (Answer)

• evaporation in spongy mesophyll cells to form water vapor • loss of water vapor by diffusion in the stomata

#6
Front (Question)

factors affecting rate of transpiration

Back (Answer)

• Temperature: increase in temperature = increase in evaporation= increase in rate of transpiration • Increase in wind speed = increase in evaporation = increase in rate of transpiration

#7
Front (Question)

wilting

Back (Answer)

condition in which plant’s leaves droop because they loose their firmness due to loss of water. happens when the rate of transpiration is greater than the rate of water uptake

#8
