    1. The document is a biology test from Saint Joseph School assessing students' knowledge of plant roots, stems, and mineral nutrition. 2. The test contains 3 exercises - the first asks students to label parts of a root cross-section diagram and fill in blanks about root absorption processes. The second asks students to identify root and stem structures. The third examines how different nutrient conditions affect plant growth. 3. The test provides figures and graphs of experiments on nutrient supply and plant growth, and asks students to analyze the data, identify nutrient needs and functions, and explain effects of nutrient deficiencies on plants.

    Exercise 1: (8 pts) Roots: Anatomy and Function

    The adjacent figure represents a cross-section


    of a root under the microscope.
    1. Label parts a till f.
    2. Fill in the blanks by writing each number and
    its corresponding term:
    The __1__ of a plant allow the absorption of
    water and mineral ions. The __2__ are
    absorbed first at the level of the __3__ by a
    process known as __4__ since it requires the
    use of energy. Later, __5__ follows by the
    process of __6__ that does not require
    energy. The substances absorbed do not
    leak out of the root because of the presence of the __7__ that prevents this backflow. They
    eventually reach the __8__ where they move upwards inside the root.

    3. By referring to acquired knowledge, distinguish between xylem and phloem with relation to
    whether their cells are living or non-living at maturity, and with relation to the direction of flow of
    substances through them.

    Exercise 2: Write the letter of the correct answer. (2 pts)

    1. The ____ is located at the tip of the root and is responsible for growth.
    a. root cap c. dermal tissue
    b. apical meristem d. root hair
    2. A ____ is where new leaves or stems are attached.
    a. node c. meristem
    b. bud d. petiole
    3. Which of the following is not a function of a plant root?
    a. Storage of photosynthetic products. c. Absorption of minerals from the soil.
    b. Synthesis of photosynthetic products. d. Absorption of water from the soil.
    4. A monocot stem cross-section can be differentiated from a dicot one by ____.
    a. the star-shaped arrangement of its xylem
    b. the ring-like arrangement of its vascular bundles
    c. its scattered vascular bundles
    d. the alternation of its xylem and phloem

    Exercise 3: (10 pts) Mineral Needs of a Plant

    Different shoots of the same kind of plant were exposed to a multitude of nutrient-related conditions
    in order to find the effect of nutrients on the growth of the plant.
    The results are shown in the figure of Document 1.

    1. Name, based on acquired knowledge, the two types of nutrients needed by a plant.

    2. Indicate the role of the negative control in Document 1.

    3. Identify the function of magnesium in the growth of a plant.

    4. A house plant is suffering from underdeveloped roots.


    a. Give the main reason for this problem.
    b. Suggest a way to treat this plant.

    The same kind of plant was exposed to


    full nutrient supply, but at different
    concentrations, and the results are
    shown in the adjacent graph.

    5. Pose the problem tested by this


    experiment.

    6. Identify, from the graph, the effect of


    different concentrations of nutrients on
    the growth of the plant.
