Plumbing
These are made of dead cylindrical cells
What are xylem?
These would be the greenest of all cells in the leaf.
What are the palisade cells?
What is NEGATIVE gravitropism?
This father/son duo studied the tropisms of plants.
Who are the Darwins (Charles and son Francis)?
This is the FORMULA for a product of photosynthesis, some is stored as fruit.
What is C6H12O6?
It's the grouping of xylem with phloem, and shows up as "veins" in the leaf.
What is the vascular bundle?
They are somewhat photosynthetic and loosely packed, to allow gas diffusion out of the leaf.
What are the spongy cells?
(aka spongy mesophyll)
It is demonstrated when flowers turn their heads toward the sunlight.
What is positive phototropism?
A group of organ systems makes this.
What is an organism?
These are the balancing numbers on all the chemical species when you use a TWO on the glucose (both reactions balance out the same)
What are 12-12-12?
(with 1 glucose use 6-6-6)
These are made of living tissue, carrying sap throughout the plant.
What are phloem?
This is a thin waterproofing coating on the top and bottom of the leaf.
What is the cuticle?
It is demonstrated why plant roots grow down toward sources of groundwater.
What is POSITIVE hydrotropism?
A group of tissues makes this.
What is an organ?
This is the point of entry into the plant for the water required in photosynthesis.
What are the ROOT HAIRS?
soil-->root hairs-->lateral roots-->taproot--> xylem
This happens from the soil to root hairs, assuming the soil is wet.
What is osmosis?
There are exactly 2 per opening on the underside of the leaf.
What are the guard cells?
These are the alternative names for gravitropism and phototropism, respectively.
What are GEOtropism and HELIOtropism?
A group of organelles with specialized roles makes this.
What is a cell?
Cell respiration is classified as this type of reaction, from the chemistry unit.
What is combustion?
These 2 properties of water make it act like "beads on a string", so water can move up the xylem.
What are ADHESION (to the xylem walls) and COHESION (to each other) of water?
This is the exit route for transpired water.
What are the stomata?
It is demonstrated by roots that grow away from sunlight.
What is NEGATIVE phototropism?
A group of populations makes this.
What is a community?
This is the organelle location of the cell respiration reaction in all living things.
What is the mitochondria?
