Q1Transport in PlantsCell StructureFree sample

Fig. 1.1 is a photomicrograph of a low power image of part of the common sunflower, Helianthus annuus. Fig. 1.1 is a transverse section.

(a)

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

1M
(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.

2M
(c)

Structure B in Fig. 1.1 contains phloem tissue and xylem tissue and other tissues that provide support.

(i)

Name structure B.

1M
(ii)

The actual length of structure B is 650 µm650\ \text{µm}.

State the actual length of structure B in mm\text{mm}.

1M
(d)

When structure B is observed at a higher magnification, more detail of xylem vessel elements and phloem sieve tube elements can be seen.

Outline the differences in the structure of a xylem vessel element and a phloem sieve tube element.
