100
Mechanism used by a plant root to bring water into the plant. Water is pulled through the membranes of the plant.

What is osmosis

100

The response in which an organism moves either toward or away from a stimulus

What is tropism

100

Tissue system that makes up the majority of a plant.  This tissue contains the pith and cortex

What is ground tissue

100
The point at which a leaf grows from the stem of a plant

What is a node

100
One of many raised pores in the stem of a woody plant that allows gas exchange between the atmosphere and the internal tissues 

What is a lenticel

200
Tissue in the vascular cylinder that transports water and dissolved minerals in dicot roots

What is xylem

200

The effect of gravity on plant growth

What is geotropism

200
Undifferentiated plant tissue found in shoots and roots; responsible for plant growth and repair.

What is meristematic tissue

200
An increase in diameter of the stems and roots in plant. A plant growth in girth rather than length.

What is secondary growth

200
A detached shoot or twig that contains buds from a woody plant that will be grafted onto the stem

What is a scion

300

The process of movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.

What is diffusion

300

Causes a plant to grow toward a stumulus

What is positive tropism

300
Meristematic tissue located between the xylem and phloem

What is vascular cambium

300
Distinct layers of xylem that result from the differing rates of spring and summer growth in a tree

What are annual growth rings

300
Water-storage region at the center of a young woody stem
What is the pith
400
Properties of water that allow plants to move water and nutrients from the soil throughout the plant

What are cohesion and adhesion

400

The effect of gravity on plant growth.  Roots have a positive and stems have a negative

Geotropism

400

Tissue that covers and protects the plant, and controls gas exchange and water absorption

What is dermal tissue

400

A structure at the tip of a plant root or in the terminal or axillary bud of a shoot/stem that is comprised of actively dividing cells. Promotes growth and elongation of the root or stem.

What is the apical meristem

400
A method of vegetative propagation in which living tissue from one plant is are encouraged to fuse with another

What is grafting

500

Two types of vascular tissue in a plant

What are xylem and phloem
500

Two properties of water which allow plants to move water and nutrients from the soil throughout the plant.

What are adhesion and cohesion

500

Three types of tissue found in roots

What are dermal, vascular, and ground tissue

500

The portion of a plant stem between the nodes

What is an internode
500
Creeping stem of a grass plant that grows above the ground

What is a stolon
