NAME: __________________________ SIGNATURE: _______________________

Assignment 1:

A newly-wed couple spent their honeymoon in a cottage near a forest. During the day,
they explored the forest & found 2 adjoining trees with large trunks. They decided to put
up a hammock between these trees where they can continue their honeymoon
activities. The husband used a big drill & holed through the entire diameter of the trunk.
Trace the tissues encountered during the drilling by filling in the blanks.
Phellem ---- ___1___ ---- ___2___ crushed primay phloem ---- ___3__ vascular
cambium ---- ___4____ primary xylem ---- ____5____ vascular cambium ___6____ ----
____7____ ---- ___8___ ---- ____9___ ---- ____10___.

Assignment 2:

   A water molecule, originally in the soil solution, was absorbed by the root & eventually
lost by a mango tree thru transpiration. Portions of the pathway of this molecule are
given below. Follow the sequence and fill up the missing portions.
Water in soil solution ---- ___1____ ---- hypodermis ---- ___2____ ---- ___3___ ----
___4___ xylem of root ---- __5____ xylem of petiole ---- ___6___ xylem of veinlets in
leaf blade ---- ___7____ ---- ____8____ ---- ___9____---- ___10____.

Assignment 3:

A. Arrange the following events in an order that explains cellular differentiation. Write
the letter of the 1st step in #1, the letter of the next step in #2 and so on.
A. Synthesis of RNA 
B. Cell grows & differentiates into specialized tissues & organs
C. Plant responds to environmental cues or signals
D. Synthesis of proteins
E. Specific organelles are "manufatured"

B. When undifferentiated cells in the apical meristem change in size and shape, 3
primary meristems are formed: ___6___ which becomes the superficial layer called
___7____; the innermost region is the ___8____which gives rise to the ____9____;
and, between #6 & #8 is the ___10____.
Assignment 4:

A. For #s 1 to 5, trace the pathway of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere until it is
utilized in photosynthesis by rearranging the tissues/cell parts below. Write the letter of
the first tissue to #1, the letter of the next tissue to #2 and so on.
A. Thylakoids
B. Stomatal pore
C. Spongy mesophyll
D. Intercellular spaces
E. Palisade mesophyll

B. For the next 5 items, use these events explaining the mass flow of materials in the
phloem. Write the letter of the 1st event next to #6, the letter of the next event to #7 and
so on.
A. Water diffuses in the sieve element
B. Sugar is conducted along the sieve tube
C. Leaf cells manufacture sugar by photosynthesis
D. Sugar is unloaded into the sieve tubes
E. Osmotically active solutes increase in the sieve tubes
