5. What is the function of the
phloem?
• Answer: Carries food from the leaf to other
parts of the plant.
6. What is the function of the
xylem?
• Answer: Carries water and minerals from the
roots to the body of the plant.
7. What is the function of the
stoma?

in and oxygen out
8. Does photosynthesis occur in the
palisade layer or the upper epidermis?
• Answer: Palisade layer
9. What do guard cells do?
• Answer: Regulate the opening and closing of
the stoma.
