Plants as Valuable Bioresources
The practice of harvesting only a single crop in a large area
Monoculture
A substance in plants that holds strands inside cellulose molecules together, giving cardboard it's stiff and brown attributes
Lignin
The above-ground system, composed of stems, leaves, buds, flowers, and fruits
Shoot System
This forms the outermost tissue of the plant and it includes the epidermis and periderm
Dermal Tissue
Sunlight used to convert to H2O and CO2 into glucose and oxygen
Photosynthesis
A fabric, flexible material, or related product made from natural or synthetic fibres, threads, or yarns
Textile
The underground system of a plant that absorbs water and anchors the plant
Root system
This tissue has many functions and makes up a majority of the inside of a plant. It includes parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma cells.
Ground Tissue
Cellulose
A fuel that is produced from renewable biological sources
Biofuels
Flexible plant cells that help with storage, photosynthesis, and protection
Parenchyma cells
Tissue made of actively dividing cells responsible for plant growth (where new cells are produced)
Meristematic Tissue
meeting food needs while not causing damage to ecosystems and upcoming generations
Sustainable agriculture
trees in their natural state or wood that has been prepared for use as a building material
Elongated plant cells that support the plant to bend without breaking
Collenchyma cells
This tissue transports water, minerals, and other substances throughout the plant and also provides support; includes the xylem and phloem.
Vascular Tissue
Benefits that plants provide such as food, oxygen production, habitat, and climate regulation
Ecosystem Services
a naturally occurring process in which the actions of wind and water remove the top layers of soil
Soil Erosion
Strong, thick-walled cells that give plants extra support and protection
Sclerenchyma cells
Two different types of Vascular tissue, one being a dead cell wall passing fluids via pores, and the other being living and food conducting
Xylem and Phloem
