Question 1(c)

(a)

Sieve tube elements in plants have very few organelles such as mitochondria.

Explain how having very few organelles is an adaptation of the sieve tube element to its function.

Question 1

[Maximum number: 1]

Water 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.

(a)

Fig. 1.1 is a plan diagram of a section through a stem.

Fig. 1.1

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.

Question 1(a)

(a)

Draw one label line on Fig. 1.1 to indicate one precise location where phloem sieve tubes occur.

[ 1 ]

Question 1(c)

(b)

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.

Question 1(c)(i)

(i)

State the name of the tissue that forms the outer layer of the stem section of R. repens in Fig. 1.1.

State, with a reason, whether Fig. 1.1 shows a section through the root or the stem of H. annuus.

[ 1 ]

Question 1(b)

(b)

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.
