11. A symbiotic relationship means that _________ organisms live together and both
benefit.
12. Photosynthesis (photo meaning ________ and synthesis meaning to
________ ____________) is the process by which leaves make ______ for the
plant.
13. Roots that sprout from the stem or leaf are know as ___________________ roots.
14. T or F The primary function of the roots is to take in water and nutrients.
15. T or F All of the food we eat comes either directly or indirectly from plants.
16. T or F Most grasses have fibrous roots.
17. T or F Plants take in CO2 and H2O and release O2 in the process known as
photosynthesis.
18. List two types of root systems and give examples of each. (4pts)
19. List two functions of the stem.(2pts)
20. What are some (3) uses for the stems of plants? (3pts)
21. Explain the process of photosynthesis. (4pts)

22. Explain why plants are essential for life. (4pts)

23. Explain why root systems are essential in soil conservation (4pts)

24. Define transpiration (1 pt)

25. Distinguish between the xylem and phloem. (4pts)

26. Describe the difference between woody and herbaceous stems. (4pts)

27. Circle the lie and explain why how this could be made true.
- Most grasses have sessile leaves.
- Plants with sessile leaves usually die each year and come back from
seed the following year.
- Maple trees are a good example of an agricultural crop possessing
sessile leaves.

28. Circle the lie and explain why how this could be made true.
- Internode is the distance between the nodes
- Nodes are only seen on fruit trees.
- A simple leaf consists of only 1 leaf attached at a node.

29. Circle the lie and explain why how this could be made true.
- Xylem brings up nutrients from roots and distributes to the rest of the
plant.
- Phloem are the tubes that carry products of photosynthesis to out parts
of the plant.
- Vascular bundles are the ridge-like veins that are easily seen running
down the leaf blade.
