Plant structure
This structure surrounds the plant cell and provides rigid structure.
What is the cell wall?
This process allows plants to make glucose using sunlight.
What is photosynthesis?
This is the male reproductive part of a flower.
What is the stamen?
This is the loss of water vapor from plant leaves.
What is transpiration?
Tanasia is a second year at UC. Her major is...
What is Biology?
This dead tissue transports water throughout the plant.
What is the xylem?
This pigment absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.
What is chlorophyll?
This structure contains ovules in a flower.
What is the ovary?
These specialized cells open and close stomata.
What are guard cells?
Tanasia eventually wants to go to graduate school with a goal of being a what?
What is a General Dentist?
These tiny pore-like openings control gas exchange on leaves.
What are stomata?
This plant organ is responsible for absorbing water and minerals (sugars).
What are roots?
This process occurs when pollen reaches the stigma.
What is pollination?
This force helps pull water upward through xylem.
What is cohesion?
This is the number of siblings Tanasia has.
What is 2?
This leaf layer tightly packs cells that perform most of photosynthesis.
What is the palisade mesophyll?
This process releases energy from glucose in plant cells.
What is cellular respiration?
Plants that reproduce using cones instead of flowers belong to this group.
What are gymnosperms?
This environmental factor increases transpiration when temperatures rise.
What is heat?
Tanasia loves to do this activity with any minute of free time she has.
What is reading a book?
This is the region at the tips of a plant that is responsible for growth.
What is the apical meristem?
This hormone is responsible for plant growth toward light.
What is auxin?
This type of reproduction produces genetically identical offspring.
What is asexual reproduction?
This process explains how water moves from roots to leaves without a pump.
What is the cohesion-tension theory?
Tanasia has one class on Mondays after these sessions. What class is it?
