A plant cell.

How many levels describe plant organisation?

Four levels.

What are the four levels of plant organisation?

Cells, tissues, organs, and systems.

How does plant cell organisation relate cells and tissues?

Cells combine to form tissues.

How does plant cell organisation relate tissues and organs?

Tissues combine to form organs.

How does plant cell organisation relate organs and systems?

Organs combine to form systems.

What are the main parts of a plant cell?

Plant cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, large vacuole, chloroplast, mitochondrion, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, ribosome.

What do the different parts of a plant cell do together?

They work together to help the plant live and grow.

What is true about the parts of a plant cell?

Each part has a specific function.

What function does the plant cell wall provide to the cell?

It gives support and protection to the cell.

What property of the plant cell wall helps maintain cell shape?

Its rigidity helps maintain the shape of the cell.

Is the cell membrane considered part of the plant cell wall?

No, the cell membrane is distinct from the cell wall.

What is transpiration in plants?

The loss of water as water vapour from the plant.

What does translocation transport in plants?

Food made in the leaves to other parts of the plant.

Through which tissue does water move from roots to leaves during transpiration?

Xylem.

Through which tissue does food move during translocation?

Phloem.

What gas enters leaves through stomata for photosynthesis?

Carbon dioxide.

What gas exits leaves during photosynthesis?

Oxygen.

What do roots absorb from the soil?

Water and mineral salts.

What does the stem transport throughout the plant?

Water and food.
