What is meristematic tissue?
Insectivorous Plants are sometimes called this
What are carnivorous plants?
Define Vegetative reproduction
The part of the stem that holds the flower
This pressure keeps the plant and especially the stems and leaves stiff.
What is Turgor pressure?
Controlling mitosis and regulating plant cell development are accomplished by these chemicals
What are hormones?
This is the main way that insectivorous plans produce food.
What is photosynthesis?
A strawberry plant produces these above-ground stems to vegetatively reproduce.
What are runners?
The green leaf-like structures above the pedicel.

What is transportation?
A growth response to light

In this process, a stem is cut from one plant and attached to another.
What is grafting?
The female reproductive organ in a flower.
What is the carpel?
This happens when cells near the base of the flower change their turgeor pressure.
What is nastic movement?
A growth response to touch

The most important raw material that a plant needs for biosynthesis.
What is nitrogen?
In grafting, the stem and plant to which it is attached are called what?
What are the scion and the stock?
