New cards

Stomata

Microscopic pores on the surface of plant leaves regulated by guard cells to facilitate CO2CO2​ intake and reduce water loss.

3
New cards

Xylem

Vascular tissue in plants responsible for transporting water and dissolved inorganic minerals upward from roots to shoots.

4
New cards

Phloem

Vascular tissue in plants that transports organic nutrients, specifically sugars dissolved in sap, from source cells to sink cells.

5
New cards

Thylakoid

A flattened, membranous sac within a chloroplast where light energy is harvested during the light-dependent reactions.

6
New cards

Stroma

The fluid-filled space surrounding the thylakoid system in a chloroplast where the Calvin cycle takes place.

7
New cards

Calvin cycle

The light-independent stage of photosynthesis occurring in the stroma that utilizes CO2, ATP and NADPH to synthesize sugar molecules
