Plant Transport
Procedure:
1. Use a cut carnation and place the stem (or a cut portion of the stem) in a test tube of colored
water. Leave overnight. Observe the following day(s).
2. Present and defend a hypothesis as to how the dye ends up in our flower.

Internal Stem Lab
Background:
Monocot and dicot stem vascular tissue is arranged in different patterns that allow us to classify a plant based on microscopic viewing of
a cross section of the stem. In today’s lab we will try to identify characteristics that will allow us to tell the difference between the two
classes of plants. Use your notes to answer the pre-lab questions.
1. What makes an herbaceous stem different from a woody stem?
Procedure:
Draw detailed illustrations of a monocot and dicot stem below. Label: xylem and phloem.
Monocot
Questions:
1. What is the job of the phloem in a plant?
2. What might be found inside the xylem of a plant?
3. What are the walls of the xylem made out of?
Dicot
4. What is one job of the vascular cambium?
5. Where do we get more phloem from in the cell? (Hint: what process makes phloem)
6. Describe some differences between a monocot and a dicot.
Root Lab
Background:
Water enters the plant through the root. Roots are incredibly tough growing through hard, compacted
soils in search of water. Use your notes on roots to answer the following pre-lab questions.
Procedure:
1. Cut a parsnip root cross section as demonstrated in class. Place the thinnest layer possible on
a microscope slide adding a drop of Iodine solution stain. The iodine will stain the starch
granules that store this molecule blue/black.
2. Draw a pie shaped illustration of this cross section below:
Label root hairs, phloem, and xylem.
1. Where in the root is the xylem located?
2. What type of cell division is used to make
more root cells?
3. Parsnip has very tiny hairs to intake water from the soil. Draw what the structures would look
like if you could see it under the microscope.
4. What part of the parsnip contributes to the sweet taste of this root vegetable?
5. What does the plant do with the starch stored in the root?
Draw a Buttercup root here:
Draw a Tilia Root here:
1. How can you tell that the buttercup root is a dicot? Label the xylem and phloem.
2. Determine if Tilia is a dicot or a monocot? How can you tell? Label the xylem and phloem.
3. Investigation: Search on-line for a picture of a monocot root and paste it here. What is the
difference between a dicot root and a monocot root?
Label the following pictures:
Monocot or dicot? Root or stem?

Transport Review
1. Label all parts on this diagram of the heart. Draw an arrow into or out of each vessel opening
showing the direction of blood flow. Color oxygenated parts red and deoxygenated parts
purple.

3. Identify the following blood vessels and their areas served.
a. Inferior vena cava
e. Aorta
b. Jugular veins
f. Pulmonary
c. Femoral
g. Carotid
d. Renal
h. Hepatic
4. Draw and describe the function of the three cell types found in blood.
5. What is blood pressure?
6. What is a good blood pressure (dependent on a person’s age)?
7. What are some factors that could affect your blood pressure?
8. Describe what the heart looks like in systole and diastole.
9. Describe in detail each of the following circulatory problems:
a. High blood pressure
b. Leukemia
c. Anemia
d. Bruises
e. Varicose veins
f. Arteriosclerosis
10. Draw the arrangement of vascular tissue in the root, stem, and leaves of a monocot and a dicot
plant. Label xylem and phloem.
a. Root:
b. Stem:
c. Leaf:
11. What materials are transported in each of the following vascular tissues?
a. Xylem
b. Phloem
12. Explain transpiration and why it is important to a plant.
13. Describe what is meant by successive osmosis.
14. Describe what is meant transpiration – cohesion theory
15. How does turgor pressure help plants to stand upright?
