100
The vascular tissue in plants that conducts water and dissolve nutrients upwards from the root and also helps to form the woody element in the stem
What is the xylem?
100
Water turns into vapor and passes out through thousands of tiny pores (stomata) through the process of ____. It helps to cool the plant and pump water and minerals to the leaves for photosynthesis.
What is transpiration?
100
the transport of organic solutes in a plant
What is translocation?
100

 These special cells transport water by increasing surface area

What is root hair cells?

100

The name for the pores in the green parts of plants

STOMATA!!!

200
The vascular tissue in plants that conducts sugars and other metabolic products downward from the leaves
What is the Phloem?
200

A cluster of xylem and phloem surrounded by a sheath

Vascular Bundle

200
Produces sugar by photosynthesis in leaves or green stems or by hydrolysis of starch in storage vessels (germinating seeds or roots/tubers) and deliver these products via the phloem to the sink (roots, buds, stem, seeds, and fruits)
What is a source?
200

Vacuoles in roots contain this substance to increase water absorption.

What is salt?

200

The number of guard cells surrounding a stoma

2

300

The force that allows water to stick to the Xylem as it flows upwards

What is adhesion?

300
Water enters the roots cells by the process of _____
What is osmosis?
300

The upward force of water once it has entered the roots of plants

Root Pressure

300

In dicot roots, the vascular bundle is found

What is the middle of the root?

300

Without a permeable membrane, this process cannot occur

What is osmosis?

400

The process of tiny droplets that exit through pores at the end of leaf veins on vascular plants. During humid days and cold nights.

Guttation

400

The purpose of lignin in the structure of the xylem

What is to prevent it collapsing under water pressure?

400
this cell maintains the sieve tubes and has many mitochondria to produce ATP for active transport of organic compounds into sieve tubes.
What is the companion cell?
400

Small organisms have this their advantage and require zero transport systems

What is a Large surface area to volume ratio?

400

The vascular bundle is arranged as candy corns in this structure

What is a dicot stem?

500

Water is drawn from the bottom of a plant (roots) to the top of a plant (leaves) via these three processes.


(3 things that make up the Cohesion-Tension Theory)

1) Root Pressure

2) Cohesion and Adhesion in the Xylem

3) Transpiration

500

The movement of substances(ions) into the root with the use of energy?

What is active transport?

500

The type of sugar plants convert glucose from photosynthesis to for transport.

What is sucrose?

500

These are responsible for attaching water molecules to each other

What is hydrogen bonds?

500

Diffusion is defined as

What is the movement of substances along/down a concentration gradient?
