Leaves
An arrangement of veins in a leaf in which the larger veins are all parallel to each other
Parallel Venation
The plant organ that absorbs water and minerals from the soil.
Roots
A cell organelle that contains chlorophyll; it is where photosynthesis occurs
Chloroplast
What makes an organism a plant? (3 Characteristics)
1. Mulitcellular
2. Cell walls
3. Photosynthesis
The part of the leaf connecting the blade to the stem
Petiole
The plant organ that supports the leaves and flowers and has nodes
Stem
Type of root system having one main root that is thicker and longer that the other roots of the plant.
Tap root
What are the five things plants need to survive?
1. Sunlight
2. Water
3. Air
4. Soil
5. Nutrients/minerals
An arrangement of veins in a leaf in which one main vein extends the length of the leaf and smaller veins branch away from it along its entire length.
Pinnate Venation
The plants organ that is connected to a stem at the node.
Leaves
Plant tissue that carries water and minerals from the roots to the leaves.
Xylem
A waxy, protective layer on the leaves and stems of a plant.
Cuticle
The flat, green portion of a leaf.
Blade
Harder, non flexible type of plant stem
Woody
Water pressure inside a plant cell's central vacuole that causes the stiffness of the cell wall.
Turgor Pressure
The green pigment that captures energy from sunlight to perform photosynthesis.
Chlorophyll
An arrangement of veins in a leaf in which the larger veins branch away from one point at the base of the leaf.
Palmate Venation
Softer, more flexible type of stem
Herbaceous
Plant tissue that carries food from leaves to other parts of the plant.
Phloem
A stiff substance in a plant's cell wall that helps to support the plant.
Cellulose
