Sample cards

Three cards from the deck, as you will see them in BrainBerry: the question, the answer, and an explanation of why.

Organisation

Name the three organs that make up the plant organ system for transport.

Answer

The root, the stem and the leaf.

Why

Each is an organ because it is made of several tissues working together. Together they move water and mineral ions up in the xylem and sugars in both directions in the phloem.

Cell biology

Which structure controls which substances enter a plant cell?

Answer

The cell membrane

Why

The cell membrane is partially permeable; the cell wall is fully permeable and controls nothing.

Cell biology

Osmosis takes place through what kind of membrane?

Answer

A partially permeable membrane

Why

Osmosis requires a partially permeable membrane that lets water through but not larger molecules.
