Transpiration

The loss of water vapor from a plant through microscopic pores called stomata on the plant's surface.

2
New cards

Stomata

Microscopic pores on the plant's epidermis that allow for gas exchange, primarily responsible for water loss during transpiration.

3
New cards

Guard Cells

Cells that regulate the opening and closing of stomata to control the exchange of gases and water vapor.

4
New cards

Xylem

Specialized vascular tissue responsible for transporting water from the roots to the leaves in plants.

5
New cards

Water Potential

The tendency of water to move from one area to another, with water moving from areas of higher potential to lower potential.

6
New cards

Cohesion

The property of water molecules sticking to each other through hydrogen bonds, aiding in the transport of water through the plant.

7
New cards

Hydrogen Bonds

Weak bonds between water molecules that contribute to the cohesive properties of water and its movement through the plant.

8
New cards
