Here are 10 one-word answer type questions from the topic Transport of Substances in Plants, along with their answers and explanations (explanation is provided immediately after each question and answer as you requested):
1)
Question: What is the vascular tissue that transports water and minerals in plants?
Answer: Xylem
Explanation: Xylem is a type of vascular tissue in plants that forms a continuous network of channels to carry water and minerals from the roots to the leaves .
2)
Question: What is the vascular tissue that transports food in plants?
Answer: Phloem
Explanation: Phloem is the vascular tissue responsible for transporting food prepared by the leaves to all parts of the plant .
3)
Question: Which part of the root helps in the absorption of water and minerals?
Answer: Root hair
Explanation: Root hair increases the surface area of the root and helps in the absorption of water and mineral nutrients dissolved in water .
4)
Question: Through which process do plants lose excess water in the form of vapour?
Answer: Transpiration
Explanation: Transpiration is the process by which plants release water vapour from the surface of leaves through stomata .
5)
Question: Which small openings on the leaf surface help in transpiration?
Answer: Stomata
Explanation: Stomata are tiny pores on the surface of leaves through which water vapour escapes during transpiration .
6)
Question: What type of pull is generated in plants due to transpiration?
Answer: Suction
Explanation: The evaporation of water from leaves creates a suction pull which helps to pull water upwards from the roots .
7)
Question: What is the term used for plant pipes or channels made of specialized cells?
Answer: Vessels
Explanation: Vessels are pipe-like structures in plants that form part of the xylem tissue to carry water and nutrients .
8)
Question: In which part of the plant is food prepared?
Answer: Leaves
Explanation: Leaves prepare food for the plant by the process of photosynthesis and then the food is transported to other parts .
9)
Question: What is the main component dissolved in water that roots absorb along with water?
Answer: Minerals
Explanation: Plants absorb mineral nutrients along with water from the soil through root hairs .
10)
Question: Which process in plants helps in cooling the plant body?
Answer: Transpiration
Explanation: Transpiration not only helps in the movement of water but also cools the plant as water evaporates from the leaf surface .
