    Chapter 7: Plant Nutrition

    1. Preliminary Concepts I [5 marks]

    (e) with one of these factors.
    T: Nitrates U: Water V: Chlorophyll W: Carbon Dioxide
    X: Magnesium ions Y: Sunlight Z: Temperature

    a. Which factor supplies energy for photosynthesis? ______

    b. Which “food” enters by osmosis? ______

    c. Which factor affects the activity of the enzymes in the chloroplasts? ______

    d. Which “food” enters the plant by diffusion only? ______

    e. Because of the presence of this factor, plants are the main food producers. _____

    2. Preliminary Concepts II [9 marks]


    The terms in the box are parts of a leaf. Match (a) to (i) with one of these parts.

    S: Palisade Cells T: Guard cells U: Epidermal cells V: Cuticle


    W: Stomata X: Xylem vessels Y: Spongy mesophyll layer Z: Phloem

    a. This tissue transports water to the palisade cells. ______


    b. These allow gaseous exchange between leaf and atmosphere. ______
    c. The cells in this part are arranged to provide a system of connecting air spaces
    within the leaf. ______
    d. This tissue conducts the products of photosynthesis from leaf to the rest of the
    plant. ______
    e. This part provides most of the support in leaves. ______
    f. These control the rate of diffusion of gases through the stomata. ______
    g. This part prevents excessive evaporation of water from the leaf. ______
    h. These parts are the main site of photosynthesis in the leaf. ______
    i. Chloroplasts are not present in this layer of cells. ______

    3. Structured Question 1 [8 marks]
    Leaf discs cut out from a destarched plant were divided into four groups and labeled
    A, B, C and D. Groups A and B were floated on distilled water, while C and D were
    floated on 5% glucose solution. Group A was exposed to light, while the others were
    kept in the dark. Groups A, B and C had air but group D was kept in a vacuum (no
    air). After 2 days, all the leaf discs were treated with iodine solution. The table below
    summarizes the treatment given and the results of the iodine test.

    Leaf discs A B C D
    Floated on Distilled water Distilled water 5% glucose 5% glucose
    Conditions Light; air Dark; air Dark; air Dark; vacuum
    provided
    Iodine test Blue-black Pale brown Blue-black Pale brown

    a. Explain the results obtained. [5]

    photosynthesis. The average number of bubbles per minute at each temperature is
    given in the table.
