Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line

bio translocation, transpiration and leaf structure

front 1

What is translocation?

back 1

The movement of sugars (mainly sucrose) and other organic molecules through the phloem from source to sink.

front 2

What are the sources in translocation?

back 2

Source: Where sugars are produced (e.g., leaves).

front 3

What are the skins in translocation?

back 3

Sink: Where sugars are used or stored (e.g., roots, fruits, seeds).

front 4

What is the main transport tissue for translocation?

back 4

Phloem, which consists of sieve tube elements and companion cells.

front 5

How is translocation different from transpiration?

back 5

Translocation moves sugars both up and down in the plant, while transpiration moves water only upwards.

front 6

What is transpiration?

back 6

The process of water evaporation from leaves through stomata, driving water movement from roots to leaves.

front 7

What is the main transport tissue for transpiration?

back 7

Xylem, which carries water and minerals from roots to the rest of the plant.What factors affect transpiration rate?

front 8

What factors make transpiration rate higher?

back 8

High temperature, low humidity, wind, and more light.

front 9

What factors make transpiration rate lower?

back 9

High humidity, low temperature, and closed stomata.

front 10

Why is transpiration important?

back 10

Water transport, Cooling the plant, Nutrient distribution

front 11

What is the main function of a leaf?

back 11

The primary function of a leaf is photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy (glucose).

front 12

What is the function of the cuticle?

back 12

A waxy layer that prevents excessive water loss and protects the leaf.

front 13

What are stomata, and what do they do?

back 13

Small pores in the epidermis that control gas exchange (CO₂ in, O₂ out) and water loss.

front 14

What is the role of the upper epidermis?

back 14

A transparent, protective layer that allows light to pass through while reducing water loss.

front 15

What is the palisade mesophyll?

back 15

A layer of tightly packed, chloroplast-rich cells where most photosynthesis occurs.

front 16

What is the spongy mesophyll?

back 16

A loosely packed layer with air spaces for gas exchange.

front 17

What is the function of veins in a leaf?

back 17

Xylem transports water & minerals, while phloem transports sugars made in photosynthesis.
