Worksheet Overview & Skills Covered

Core academic competencies and curriculum alignment

This Biology Science worksheet provides structured practice on 10.108 Plant Transport and Transpiration. Students are guided through targeted exercises that build foundational understanding, computational accuracy, and critical thinking skills.

Plant Transport and Transpiration: Students connect xylem, phloem, stomata, guard cells, water potential, transpiration, cohesion-tension, and source-sink movement to plant survival and productivity. Rigor range: standard concept checks through honors/Pre-AP/AP-ready integrated physiology, plant systems, health data, and applied decision-making.

Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 10.108 Plant Transport and Transpiration skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Use the integrated drought pathway diagram. A plant experiences dry soil, falling leaf water potential, stomatal closure, reduced transpiration, and reduced sugar delivery to growing fruits. Which explanation connects the whole sequence?

AWater stress opens stomata, increases photosynthesis, and stops phloem transport to fruits.

BDry soil increases xylem sugar loading, so fruits receive less water vapor from stomata.

CFalling leaf water potential directly converts all fruits from sinks into xylem vessels.

DWater stress triggers stomatal closure that conserves water but reduces photosynthesis and phloem supply to sinks.

Solution & Explanation:Dry soil lowers water uptake and leaf water potential. Stomatal closure conserves water but reduces carbon dioxide intake, photosynthesis, and sugar available to sinks.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Aphids often excrete honeydew after feeding on plant stems. Why is honeydew evidence that aphids are feeding from phloem rather than xylem?

AXylem sap contains more sucrose than phloem near every leaf.

BStomata secrete honeydew whenever guard cells lose turgor.

CPhloem sap contains high concentrations of sugars from source leaves.

DHoneydew is made from lignin in xylem vessel walls.

Solution & Explanation:Phloem sap is sugar-rich because it carries products of photosynthesis from sources to sinks. Aphids feeding on it can excrete excess sugar as honeydew.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Use the breeding tradeoff graph. Drought survival rises as average stomatal conductance decreases, but yield under well-watered conditions also decreases. Which selection goal is most defensible?

AAlways choose the lowest conductance line because yield never matters.

BChoose a line with enough drought survival while avoiding unnecessary yield loss in target environments.

CAlways choose the highest yield line because drought survival cannot be inherited.

DIgnore stomatal conductance because it is unrelated to water loss.

Solution & Explanation:A useful crop trait depends on the target environment; very low conductance may improve survival but reduce carbon gain and yield.
