Scientists studying the transport of sugars in plants found it difficult to conduct experiments that did not damage the plants they were studying. Some scientists decided to use certain insects that fed on plants. The insects they chose were aphids, which have mouthparts that are inserted into plants and used to suck out nutrients. Many of these aphids also release excess sugars from the anal end of their digestive tracts. These sugars are called honeydew because they are released as sugary droplets. The scientists conducted the following experiments: 1. They measured the rate at which honeydew was released from aphids feeding on cucumber plants. The average rate was two drops per hour. 2. They froze some aphids and the plant parts they were attached to. They then took cross sections of the plant parts and examined them using an electron microscope. They
found that the tips of the aphids mouthparts were in individual cells in the phloem tissue. 3. They anesthetized aphids feeding on plants and then cut away the aphids, leaving the mouthparts in place on the plant. They noted that the honeydew continued to be released through the mouthparts. The rate at which it was released was measured to be two drops per hour. They also analyzed the honeydew and found that it had the same chemical composition as the sugars transported in the plants. 54. Refer to the passage above.

If false, change the identified word or phrase to make the statement true. 1. Plants are multicellular prokaryotes. 2. The plant life cycle includes a diploid gamete and a haploid spore. 3. Mosses are most often found in dry environments. 4. Mosses and liverworts lack a vascular system for transporting water and nutrients. 5. Water must be present for fertilization to take place in mosses. 6. In mosses and liverworts, eggs are formed through mitosis in the antheridia. 7. Gametophytes of conifers are physically much larger than their sporophytes. 8. One important difference between mosses and ferns is that mosses have a vascular system. 9. Shoots, stems, and roots characterize the bodies of vascular plant sporophytes. 10. Ferns are characterized by fronds and fiddleheads. 11. Haploid fern spores are produced by gametophytes. 12. In ferns, a large sporophyte with leaves called fronds alternates with a heart-shaped gametophyte. 13. Ferns need water to reproduce because their sperm must swim to eggs. 14. Both mosses and ferns require a thin film of water for gametes to meet. 15. In both mosses and ferns, eggs are formed through mitosis in the antheridia.
16. Gymnosperm seeds are enclosed in a fruit. 17. Gametophytes of seed plants are large and easily viewed with the unaided eye. 18. Sexual reproduction in seed plants involves the transfer of pollen from the male reproductive structures of a plant to the female reproductive structures. 19. Seed plants cannot reproduce without a film of water for transferring of gametes. 20. A seed is a structure that contains a plant embryo. 21. A plant embryo is a new sporophyte. 22. In flowering plants, the embryos of monocots have two cotyledons. 23. Pollen is produced in the tip of the stamen, a structure called the sepal. 24. The lower portion of the pistil produces pollen. 25. Gametophytes develop within flowers. 26. Pollen tubes grow through the style toward the ovule. 27. Many seeds have appendages that aid in dispersal. 28. Asexual reproduction produces new plants that are genetically different from the parent plant. 29. Vegetative reproduction does require a plant to have flowers. 30. In vegetative reproduction, new plants may be generated from stems or roots. 31. Nitrogen is an essential mineral nutrient needed for plant growth and development. 32. Since calcium is a part of cell membranes, it plays a role in the support of a plant s body. 33. If a plant becomes deficient in magnesium, it will not be able to perform cellular respiration. 34. The availability of light and nutrients affects the rate of plant growth. 35. The movement of water through a plant can be explained by the pressure-flow model.
36. The loss of water by translocation at the leaves helps pull water into the plant at the roots. 37. The rate of water absorption in roots is influenced by the amount of water lost through transpiration. 38. Osmosis between water molecules helps to pull water through a plant s xylem. 39. The guard cells swell when they take in water, which closes the stomata and allows transpiration to proceed. 40. The movement of sugars into phloem cells requires the process of active transport. 41. The distribution of sugars within a plant is referred to as transpiration. 42. Sugars move in only two directions within the phloem of a plant. 43. Roots function in the storage of excess nutrients in many plants. Therefore, roots are an example of a sink only. 44. In plants, organic nutrients move through the xylem from where they are made to where they are needed. 45. The transport of organic molecules from a leaf to the rest of the plant is called transportation. 46. A hormone is any chemical messenger that is produced in one location and causes a response in another location. 47. Auxins were the first group of plant hormones to be described. 48. The shoots of oat seedlings bend toward light because of auxins produced in their root tips. 49. Cytokinins are hormones that slow the aging of some plant organs such as cut flowers. 50. Seedless fruits are often produced by applying ethylene to developing fruits. 51. Plant shoots grow upward due to a negative gravitropism. 52. Tropisms are the only way that plants respond to environmental stimuli. 53. Tropisms are distinguished from other plant responses to stimuli in that they depend on the direction from which the stimulus comes.
54. A plant whose shoots display a negative phototropism would bend toward a light source. 55. The response of a plant to the direction of a touch is called a thigmotropism. 56.

Scientists studying the transport of sugars in plants found it difficult to conduct experiments that did not damage the plants they were studying. Some scientists decided to use certain insects that fed on plants. The insects they chose were aphids, which have mouthparts that are inserted into plants and used to suck out nutrients. Many of these aphids also release excess sugars from the anal end of their digestive tracts. These sugars are called honeydew because they are released as sugary droplets. The scientists conducted the following experiments: 1. They measured the rate at which honeydew was released from aphids feeding on cucumber plants. The average rate was two drops per hour. 2. They froze some aphids and the plant parts they were attached to. They then took cross sections of the plant parts and examined them using an electron microscope. They found that the tips of the aphids mouthparts were in individual cells in the phloem tissue. 3. They anesthetized aphids feeding on plants and then cut away the aphids, leaving the mouthparts in place on the plant. They noted that the honeydew continued to be released through the mouthparts. The rate at which it was released was measured to be two drops per hour. They also analyzed the honeydew and found that it had the same chemical composition as the sugars transported in the plants.
