EduNinjaWater and mineral ions are transported up the stem of a plant to the leaves within xylem vessels.
Some water and mineral ions can pass out of xylem vessel elements to supply parenchyma tissue in the stem.
Fig. 1.1 is a plan diagram of a section through a stem.
Fig. 1.1
Identify one location where xylem tissue occurs in the stem by drawing a label line and the letter X on Fig. 1.1.
Fig. 1.1 is a photomicrograph of a transverse section through the stem of creeping buttercup, Ranunculus repens.
Fig. 1.1
Draw one label line on Fig. 1.1 to indicate one precise location where phloem sieve tubes occur.
A good quality plan diagram of Fig. 1.1 will show only the tissues in the stem in their correct location and in the correct proportions.
State the name of the tissue that forms the outer layer of the stem section of R. repens in Fig. 1.1.
Fig. 1.1 is a photomicrograph of a low power image of part of the common sunflower, Helianthus annuus. Fig. 1.1 is a transverse section.
Fig. 1.1
State, with a reason, whether Fig. 1.1 shows a section through the root or the stem of H. annuus.
Cell type A in Fig. 1.1 has a large central vacuole.
Suggest, with reasons, the role of the tissue formed by this type of cell.
Structure B in Fig. 1.1 contains phloem tissue and xylem tissue and other tissues that provide support.
Name structure B.
When structure B is observed at a higher magnification, more detail of xylem vessel elements and phloem sieve tube elements can be seen.
Outline the differences in the structure of a xylem vessel element and a phloem sieve tube element.
Fig. 1.1 and Fig. 1.2 are photomicrographs of sections through the leaves of two different plants.
Fig. 1.1 Fig. 1.2 is a photomicrograph of a section through a leaf of Himalayan cedar, Cedrus deodara.
Fig. 1.2 Fig. 1.1 and Fig. 1.2 are not shown at the same magnification.
Cells labelled A, B and C in Fig. 1.1 and Fig. 1.2 each form a different tissue.
Name each tissue formed.
tissue formed from A
tissue formed from B
tissue formed from C
tissue formed from C
Fig. 1.1 is a diagram of a nephron.
Fig. 1.1
Label Fig. 1.1 using:
- one labelling line and the letter A to identify a region that contains urine
- one labelling line and the letter B to identify a region that contains podocytes
- one labelling line and the letter C to identify a region of the nephron that is within the medulla of the kidney
- one labelling line and the letter D to identify the afferent arteriole.
Fig. 1.1 is a drawing of a longitudinal section (LS) of a human kidney.

Use the letters A, B, C and D in Fig. 1.1 to complete Table 1.1.
Each letter may be used once, more than once or not at all.
For each description, list all the letters that are correct.

On Fig. 1.1, use label lines and letters to label each of the following parts:
X - xylem tissue
P - palisade mesophyll tissue.
