Plants allows gas exchange and many other functions to help the ecosystem. Correctly match the words on the with the explanations.

Words:

Guard Cells

meristematic tissue

root hairs

xylem

Phloem

Possible explanations:

Growing sections

increases surface area for water absorption

open and close to allow gas exchange

vascular tissue for movement from roots to leaves

vascular tissue for movement from leaves to roots

xylem → vascular tissue for movement from roots to leaves

phloem → vascular tissue for movement from leaves to roots

Root Hair → increases surface area for water absorption

Meristematic tissue → Growing Sections

Guard Cells → open and close to allow gas exchange

Explanation:

The xylem distributes water and dissolved minerals upward through the plant, from the roots to the leaves. The phloem carries food downward from the leaves to the roots.

Root hairs increase the surface area for the absorption of water and minerals from the soil.

Meristem is the name of the specific area where plant growth occurs.

Guard cells are cells surrounding each stoma. They help to regulate the rate of transpiration by opening and closing the stomata.
