What are the main parts of this tree? What is the function of each part?
Vascular Tissues As we have learned, vascular plants can grow quite large thanks to their vascular tissues. Vascular tissues transport substances through the interior of the plant much like the circulatory system does in animals. As water evaporates from the leaves of a plant, more water is drawn up by osmosis from the tissues below to replace it.
In you lab groups, use the equipment below to create a demonstration showing how vascular tissues provide plants with the necessary water and nutrients. • MATERIALS: • Celery stalk with leaves intact • Metric ruler • 400-mL beaker • Distilled water • Glass bowl • Red food coloring • Razor blade • Stirring rod
Write your procedures on the left page of your biology notebook My Procedures: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
At the conclusion of your demonstration you should be able to answer these questions. • QUESTIONS: • What type of tissue moves water • upward in a plant stem? • 2. What type of tissue moves nutrients down in a plant? • 3. What is transpiration and where does it occur in plants? • 4. How does transpiration help the upward movement of water? Write out the questions and answer them on the right page of you biology notebook
