Structure
Functions to anchor the plant, absorb water and minerals, and may store nutrients
What are roots?
Type of transport through a membrane involving diffusion down a concentration gradient
What is passive transport?
Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Sulfur, Phosphorous, Potassium, Calcium, and Magnesium
What are macronutrients in plants?
If you leave an overripe fruit near other under ripe fruits, they will ripen faster because of the amount of this hormone in the overripe fruit
What is ethylene?
Develops from the ovary of a flowering plant
What is a fruit?
[Look at picture 1]
What is an axillary bud?
One control of movement in the xylem resulting in negative pressure
What is transpiration-cohesion-tension?
Defined by the relative amounts of different sized particles
What is texture of the soil?
The terminal bud is cut off and this hormone stimulates growth of the axillary buds
What is cytokinins?
Fragmentation and apomixis are types of this reproduction
What is asexual reproduction?
The three types of cells in ground tissue
What are collenchyma, parenchyma, sclerenchyma?
Regulates xylem transport of water and nutrients
What is the stomata?
Defined by loss of topsoil
What is erosion?
This hormone is responsible for phototropism, gravitropism, and thigmotropism
What is auxin?
[Look at picture 2]
What is an anther?
A plant tissue cell, with undifferentiated cells, for plant growth
What is meristem?
The control of sugar movement through the phloem, involved active transport
What is translocation?
This bacteria turns ammonium into nitrate in the topsoil.
What is nitrifying bacteria?
Research concluded this type of light inhibited germination
What is far-red light?
[Look at picture 3]
What is a sepal?
The process in plants where stems and roots increase in thickness, primarily due to the activity of lateral meristems
What is secondary growth?
Route of water transport that goes only through cytoplasm and through the plasmodesmata
What is symplastic route of transport?
Type of bacteria that occurs in the root nodules of mainly legumes and helps with nitrogen fixation
What is rhizobium?
Plants respond to stimulus using this in cells
What are plant transduction pathways?
This human use of plants takes advantage of asexual reproduction through cutting and grafting
What is ornamentals?
