100
main function of leaves
What is photosynthesis
100
tissue system that includes the xylem and phloem
What is vascular tissue
100
Carbon dioxide enters the leaf here
What is stomata
200
Roots that branch to such an extent that no single root grows larger than the rest (found in monocots)
What is Fibrous Roots
200
Growth that increases the thickness of the stem
What is secondary growth
200
specialized ground tissue found in leaves (carries out photosynthesis)
What is mesophyll
200
clusters of tissue that are responsible for growth
What is meristems
200
hypothesis that explains transport of materials in plants
What is pressure-flow hypothesis
300
Tiny cellular projections that increase the surface area of roots
What is Root Hairs
300
old, nonfunctioning xylem cells that help support the tree
What is heartwood
300
openings in the leaves for gas exchange
What is stomata
300
tissue system that makes up the outer covering of plants
What is dermal tissue
300
responsible for transporting sugars throughout the plant
What is phloem
400
Protects the root as it forces its way through soil
What is Root Cap
400
includes all of the tissues outside the vascular cambium
What is bark
400
the loss of water through the leaves
What is transpiration
400
vascular tissue that is composed of sieve tubes
What is phloem
400
water and minerals are transported through this type of vascular tissue
What is xylem
500
Diffusion of water
What is Osmosis
500
Type of meristematic tissue that increases the thickness of the stem over time
What is vascular cambium
500
cells that control the opening and closing of stomata
What is guard cells
500
tissues that lie between dermal and vascular tissues
What is ground tissue
500
waterproof strip that prevents the backflow of water into the root cortex
What is Casparian strip
