1 EOC - Unit 7 Review - Classification Part A: Benchmark Standard SC.912.L.14.7 Relate the structure of each of the major plant organs and tissues to physiological processes. Benchmark Clarification Students will explain how the structures of plant tissues and organs are directly related to their roles in physiological processes. Content Limits Items will assess the function of plant tissues and organs in the context of physiological processes. Items will not assess specific functions of structures within organs and tissues in isolation. Items assessing plant organs are limited to roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and cones. Items referring to physiological processes are limited to photosynthesis, cellular respiration, transpiration, growth, and reproduction. Items assessing plant tissues are limited to meristematic, ground, dermal, and vascular tissues. Items referring to plant structures are limited to cambium, guard cells, phloem, root hairs, root ap, seed, stomata, xylem, stamen, pistil, ovary, petals, sperm, egg, sepal, filament, anther, style, and stigma. Items will not address or assess mitosis or meiosis. Part A: Sample Questions 1) When Mr. Williams was mowing the yard, he accidentally hit a young tree with the mower and scraped off a large section of bark all the way down to the wood. Within a few days, leaves on several of the branches began to die. What is the most likely cause of the leaves dying? A. The leaves were diseased already, and they died coincidentally when the bark was injured. B. The wood was weakened by the injury and could no longer support the weight of the branches above it. C. The bark contained the xylem and phloem tubes and, once they were damaged, they could not feed the leaves. D. The vascular tissue under the bark was damaged and could no longer transport water and nutrients to the leaves. 2) Meristem cells in plants are most similar to which type of animal cells? A. embryonic stem cells B. macrophage cells C. motor neuron cells D. red blood cells 3) A plant, which sprouted from a seed, has a genetic mutation that keeps it from producing stomata. Is it likely that this plant will live and grow? A. Yes, because it will absorb carbon dioxide for photosynthesis through its roots. B. Yes, because it only needs stomata to decrease water loss in very hot weather. C. No, because it will not be able to move sugars to its roots without stomata. D. No, because it will not be able to carry out photosynthesis without stomata. 4) Which of the following is responsible for the exchange of gases between the plant and the atmosphere during photosynthesis? A. primary and secondary meristems B. xylem and phloem C. guard cells and stomata D. cambium and epidermis 5) In some flowers, the ovary is hidden deep within the base of the flower while the pollen is held up in the air, often near a source of nectar. How is this general design helpful to the plant? A. It keeps the pollen dry by exposing it to air while keeping the ovary moist. B. It makes it possible for seeds to develop both in the ovary and in the pollen grains. C. It encourages animals to carry pollen for cross-fertilization while leaving the ovary alone. D. It allows the plant to self-fertilize more easily since the pollen can drop into the ovary. 6) Which of the following would be most likely to encourage side branches to begin growing along the main stem of a plant? A. Pinching off the top bud to remove the apical meristem. B. Watering the plant heavily to increase the rate of photosynthesis. C. Adding root hormone to encourage root growth and nutrient absorption. D. Removing all the leaves along the main stem to give the side branches more light. 7) When grass is cut with a lawn mower, it gives off a distinct aroma. Why does newly-mowed grass smell a little bit sweet? A. Sugars are produced when the cut leaves of grass begin to decay in sunlight. B. Sugars stored in the roots are sent to repair the damage to the grass leaves. C. When the grass leaves are damaged, some of the sugar produced in the leaves escapes. D. When grass leaves are cut, a small amount of sugar is produced at the site of injury to plug the phloem. 8) Many plants have leaves that are quite thin in cross-section. For instance, a live oak leaf might be 6 centimeters (cm) long and 3 cm wide, but only 2 or 3 millimeters thick. How does having thin leaves benefit plants? A. The thin leaves allow light to reach the photosynthetic cells within the leaf. B. Thick leaves are more likely to droop, making photosynthesis more difficult. C. Thin, flexible leaves are less likely to be damaged by high winds than thick leaves. D. Water can be absorbed from the air more easily through thin leaves than thick leaves. 9) In plants, water can escape through the leaves by the process of transpiration. Which of the following structures are involved in transpiration? A. xylem, phloem, stomata B. root hairs, xylem, stomata C. phloem, root hairs, xylem D. stomata, phloem, root hairs 10) Some plants produce fruit which contains their seeds. How does producing fruit benefit the plant? A. The fruit keeps the seeds from being damaged when they fall from the plant. B. Animals often carry the seeds away from the parent plant when they eat the fruit. C. Fewer seeds get eaten by animals if they are hidden inside the fruit, where they can't be seen. D. Seeds contained in fruit need the extra nutrients from the surrounding fruit to start growing.

2 11) Terrestrial plants have stomata on the surface of their leaves. A single stoma is surrounded by two guard cells that change shape in response to environmental factors and open or close the stoma. Which of the following best explains how the structure of the leaf is used in processes that occur in the plant? A. Water enters the plant through the surface of the leaf for transpiration. B. Gases for photosynthesis are exchanged through the surface of the leaf. C. Energy for cellular reproduction is absorbed through the surface of the leaf. D. Carbon dioxide enters the plant through the surface of the leaf for cellular respiration.
