Question
Answer
plant tissue responsible for carrying water up from the roots   xylem  
🗑
plant tissue responsible for carrying sugars throughout the plant   phloem  
🗑
long thin xylem cell with thick secondary cell walls; water moves from cell to cell through pits   tracheids  
🗑
xylem cells found primarily in angiosperms; water moves through pits and perforated end walls   vessels  
🗑
phloem cells that are alive at functional maturity, though they lack organelles   Sieve-tube elements  
🗑
phloem cells that are alive at functional maturity; are the porous end walls that allow fluid to flow between cells along the sieve tube   Sieve plates  
🗑
Each sieve-tube element has a ______________________ whose nucleus and ribosomes serve both cells   companion cell  
🗑
____________________are perpetually embryonic tissue and allow for indeterminate growth   meristems  
🗑
Apical meristems are located at the ______________________ and at the axillary buds of shoots   tips of roots and shoots  
🗑
location of primary growth   apical meristems  
🗑
________________ add thickness to woody plants   lateral meristems  
🗑
Lateral meristems add thickness to woody plants, a process called ___________   secondary growth  
🗑
There are two lateral meristems; ________ & ____________   vascular cambium & cork cambium  
🗑
The vascular cambium adds layers of vascular tissue called _________________ and ________________   secondary xylem (wood) & secondary phloem  
🗑
The _______________ replaces the epidermis with periderm, which is thicker and tougher   cork cambium  
🗑
___________________ consists of all the tissues external to the vascular cambium, including secondary phloem and periderm   bark  
🗑
The evolution of ___________ and ___________ in land plants made possible the long-distance transport of water, minerals, and products of photosynthesis   xylem and phloem  
🗑
the movement of water that requires no energy is known as ______________   passive transport diffusion or osmosis  
🗑
____________ is the movement of solutes ‘down’ a gradient; an example of passive transport   diffusion  
🗑
The role of passive transport is mostly to ____________________   move water into and out of cells  
🗑
Most solutes cannot move across the phospho-lipid barrier of the membrane; thus a _____________ is required   transport protein  
🗑
the most important transport protein in plants is the __________________   proton pump  
🗑
A proton pump uses the energy of ________ to create an electrochemical gradient   ATP  
🗑
In the mechanism called ______________, a transport protein couples the diffusion of one solute to the active transport of another   co-transport  
🗑
The role of active transport is to ________________________________.   move solutes and nutrients against the concentration gradient.  
🗑
Efficient long distance transport of fluid requires __________________, the movement of a fluid driven by pressure   bulk flow  
🗑
____________________is the loss of water vapor from the leaves and other parts of the plant that are in contact with the air   transpiration  
🗑
the __________ of water due to hydrogen bonding plus the _______ of water to plant cell walls enables the water to form a water column … water is drawn up through the xylem as water evaporates, each succeeding water molecule pulling on the one beneath it   cohesion and adhesion  
🗑
the _________________ explains water movement in plants   Transpiration-cohesion-tension mechanism  
🗑
Phloem transports organic products of photosynthesis from the leaves throughout the plant in a process called _______________-   translocation  
🗑
A ____________ is an organ that is a net producer of sugar, such as mature leaves   sugar source  
🗑
A ______________ is an organ that is a net consumer or storer of sugar, such as a tuber or bulb   sugar sink  
🗑
an example of a sugar source might be a ___________-   leaf  
🗑
an example of a sugar sink might be a __________   fruit, root, tuber, flower  
🗑
__________ are the most fertile topsoils and contain equal amounts of sand, silt, and clay   loams  
🗑
The goal of ______________ is to use farming methods that are conservation-minded, environmentally safe, and profitable   sustainable agriculture  
🗑
The primary source of irrigation water is underground water reserves called ___________   aquifers  
🗑
Nine of the essential elements are called _____________ because plants require them in relatively large amounts   macronutrients  
🗑
macronutrients include __________   carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, potassium, calcium, and magnesium  
🗑
A chemical element is considered an __________________ if it is required for a plant to complete its life cycle   essential elements  
🗑
_____________ are essential elements that plants need in very small amounts   micronutrients  
🗑
examples of micronutrients include ________   chlorine, iron, manganese, boron, zinc, copper, nickel, and molybdenum  
🗑
The layer of soil bound to the plant’s roots is the ______________   rhizosphere  
🗑
_______________are mutualistic associations of fungi and roots   Mycorrhizae  
🗑
An _____________ grows on another plant and obtains water and minerals from rain   epiphyte  
🗑
____________________ are photosynthetic but obtain nitrogen by killing and digesting mostly insects   carnivorous plants  
🗑
In the late 1800s, Charles Darwin and his son Francis conducted experiments on ____________, a plant’s response to light   phototropism  
🗑
_____________are chemical signals that coordinate different parts of an organism   hormones  
🗑
Any response resulting in curvature of organs toward or away from a stimulus is called a _____________   tropism  
🗑
The term _____________refers to any chemical that promotes elongation of coleoptiles   auxin  
🗑
__________________are hormones that are so named because they stimulate cytokinesis (cell division)   cytokinins  
🗑
______________ are hormones that have a variety of effects, such as stem elongation, fruit growth, and seed germination   gibberellins  
🗑
