This jelly-like substance fills the inside of a cell and holds organelles in place
What is cytoplasm
These basic units work together to form tissues.
What are specialized cells.

The two main products of photosynthesis are __ and __.
What are glucose and oxygen.
This structure controls what enters and exits the cell.
What is the cell membrane.
The tissue in plants that carries sugar from the leaves to the rest of the plant.
What is phloem.
This scientist first used the term "cell" after looking at cork under a microscope.
Who is Robert Hooke.
This process uses energy to move substances against (up) the concentration gradient.
What is active transport.
This vascular tissue transports water from roots to leaves.

What is a hypotonic solution.
These pores in leaves control gas exchange.
What are stomata.

What is multiplying objective lens and eyepiece lens.
These two processes help maintain homeostasis by regulating what enters or exits the cell.
What are diffusion and active transport.
This process involves water evaporating from leaves, pulling more water up through the plant.
