How would you describe transpiration?
Transpiration is the process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere. So basically transpiration is evaporation of water from plant leaves. Transpiration also includes a process called guttation, which is the loss of water in liquid form.
Aphids use specialized organs to pierce a plant and suck out the sap from the underside of leaves. During feeding they can inject a toxin that stunts plant growth. Which pathway would the toxins most?
phoem is the correct answer (apex)
Why are leaves important to a plant?
Because it makes energy for the plant by means of photosynthesis. (The plant could do that with just a stem but it would not produce enough.
Why would curled up leaves help a plant survive in a hot dry climate?
Even though the leaves are dry and curled they act as ground cover to prevent the moisture in the ground from evaporating poopoo
Why would it be an advantage for a plant to have stomata on the underside of a horizontal leaf?
Having them on the underside reduces water loss. When water evaporates, it rises. Since there is a leaf blocking the moisture from rising, most is just reabsorbed by the plant. There is also less sunlight exposure from the sun on the underside. Stomata have guard cells surrounding the opening that swell and shrivel depending on water availability. If the stomata were on top of the leaf, the guard cells would shrivel too easily from the heat. This closes the stomata so the plant can retain water, but without carbon dioxide entering the plant, it cannot photosynthesize. Also, on the top side of the leaf is the cuticle, a waxy layer that protects the leaf. If stomata were on the top, they would have to be strong enough to do the same job as the cuticle, which they are not. The stomata would be damaged too easily by the environment, putting the whole plant at a disadvantage.

What do you think would happen if a plant had no stomata?
If a plant did not have stomata on the bottom of its leaves, water and oxygen leaving the plant would not be regulated.
Would a house plant survive if the only water that it was given was sprayed as a mist onto its leaves Why or Why not?
NO

Would water travel faster through a plant with or without leaves?
if you are talking about a plant that used to have leaves and lost them, than the now leafless plant loses (or has water travel faster through it) than with leaves, if you are talking about plants that are always leafless (cacti) it isn't faster than leaf plant because they store their water better so it moves very slowly in cacti.
What is a plant system?
This would be the vascular plants vascular tissue. The xylem carries water from the roots to the leaves and the pholem carries manufactured sugars from the leaves to the places in the plant where the sugars are needed.

What is a plant's circulatory system?
This would be the vascular plants vascular tissue. The xylem carries water from the roots to the leaves and the pholem carries manufactured sugars from the leaves to the places in the plant where the sugars are needed.
A plant with stomata present only on the top of its leaves would be best suited to which environment?
Water Surface
Which solution makes plants grow faster?
Calcium nitrate or potassium nitrate dissolved in water and sprayed on certain plant leaves should help them grow faster than just water alone. The type of solution would vary from plant to plant. Some plants burn when water is sprayed on their leaves.
In what leaf tissue does gas exchange occur most easily?
Gas exchange in plants occurs on the underside of leaves though tiny holes called stomata on the lower epidermis. They are located on the underside in order to shield the stomata from direct sunlight, which would increase evaporation through them, dehydrating the plant.
