1
Tissue
A group of similar cells that together perform a specialized function.
New cards
2
Root
An organ that anchors the plant to the soil, absorbs minerals and water, and often stores carbohydrates.
New cards
3
Tap root
Type of root that consists of a main root that gives rise to many smaller lateral roots.
New cards
4
Transpiration
The controlled release of excess water from the stomata of the leaf
New cards
5
Warm , Dry , Sunny , Breezy Day
Name 4 environmental factors to maximise the rate of photosynthesis
New cards
6
Carbon Dioxide Absorption
Environmental factor which effects the opening / closing of stomata ( Transpiration )
New cards
7
Root Pressure created by Osmosis
New cards
8
Cohesion ( Water to Water )
New cards
9
Adhesion ( Water to Xylem )
New cards
10
Transpirational Pull caused by Evaporation
4 stages of the transpiration stream
New cards
11
Dixon and Jolly
Scientists who developed the Cohesion / Tension Model
New cards
12
Lateral roots
Roots that branch off from the taproot.
New cards
13
Root hairs
A tiny extension of a root cell, growing just behind the root tip and increasing surface area for absorption of water and minerals.
New cards
14
Stem
Organ of the plant which provides structure and support to the plant
New cards
15
Petiole
The points at which leaves are attached to the stem.
New cards
16
Apical bud
A bud at the tip of a plant stem; also called a terminal bud.
New cards
17
Leaf
The main photosynthetic organ.
New cards
18
Dermal tissue
Type of tissue that makes up the plant's outer protective covering
New cards
19
Cuticle
This waxy coating on the epidermal surface, helps prevent water loss.
New cards
20
Vascular tissue
tissue made up of Xylem and phloem. Allows transport of materials through the plant
New cards
21
Xylem
Cells that transport water and dissolved minerals upward from roots into the shoots.
New cards
22
Phloem
Cells that transports glucose from the leaves to the rest of the plant
New cards
23
Ground tissue
Plant tissues that acts as storage and support.
New cards
24
Lignin
Found in xylem cells for added structure and support
New cards
25
Tracheids (Xylem)
A type of xylem cell with long, thin cells with tapered ends.
New cards
26
Xylem Vessels
A type of Xylem cell that is formed by the end to end connection of cylindrical elements.
New cards
27
Sieve-tube elements
A living cell that transports nutrients in the phloem .Connected end to end they form sieve tubes.
New cards
28
Sieve plates
Have pores that facilitate the flow of fluid from phloem cell to phloem cell
New cards
29
Companion cell
Along with sieve tube element and sieve plates , these form the phloem
New cards
30
Meristems
Cells responsible for growth in plants.
New cards
31
Zone of Differentiation
The part of a root / shoot where plant cells get allocated a specific function ( like stem cells )
New cards
32
Root cap
Part of the root that protects the delicate meristem as the root pushes through the soil
New cards
33
Stomata
Pores that allow exchange of CO2 and O2 .Found on the under surface of the leaf
New cards
34
Herbaceous
A flowering plant that doesnt develop secondary thickening ( form wood )
New cards
35
Monocotyledon
A plant whose seed develops into 1 seed leaf
New cards
36
Dicotyledon
A plant whose seed develops into 2 seed leaves
New cards
37
Guard cells
Regulate the opening and closing of the stomata
New cards
